What is Velo

Velo is a cloud-hosted SAP GUI test execution platform. You write tests in Robot Framework, push them to the Velo dashboard, and Velo runs them against your SAP system — no local SAP GUI installation or desktop agent required on the tester's machine.

What Velo does

  • Executes Robot Framework test suites that interact with SAP GUI for Java
  • Streams live logs and records session video for every run
  • Provides a dashboard for teams to trigger runs, view results, and manage suites
  • Exposes a CLI and REST API for CI/CD integration
  • Connects to SAP systems on secured networks via an encrypted tunnel agent

Who it's for

Velo is designed for test engineers, QA leads, and platform/DevOps teams at organisations running SAP. If your team writes or maintains Robot Framework test suites that cover SAP GUI workflows, Velo is the execution layer.
