SAP 2026: How to Keep Pace with New Release Cycles

llr@qestit.com (Laurence Lépicier) — Tue, 12 May 2026 06:00:00 GMT

For decades, the SAP ecosystem evolved through predictable, almost comfortable, cycles. Version upgrades were seen as monumental projects, spaced several years apart. However, by 2026, this traditional model will have definitively disappeared.

SAP S/4HANA Migration 2026: Final Deadline for SAP ECC Transition

llr@qestit.com (Laurence Lépicier) — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

The 2027 deadline is no longer an abstract date on a distant roadmap—it has become an urgent operational reality. For companies still running on SAP ECC, 2026 officially marks the beginning of a phase of heightened vigilance.

QA Outsourcing: The France-Egypt Model with Hanaa

hpe@qestit.com (Hortense Pellet) — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Interview with Hanaa Idrissi, Delivery Manager at QESTIT

The outsourced testing market is booming and is expected to exceed $12 billion by 2035*. With nearly 40% of outsourced testing** conducted between Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, companies are looking for reliable partners who combine technical expertise with cultural proximity. This is exactly where our Cairo testing center stands out, with Hanaa, our French-speaking Delivery Manager, at the forefront.

Hanaa, can you tell us about your role at the Cairo testing center?

"My role is to bridge the gap between our french-speaking clients and our local teams. I am based in Cairo and ensure that every project is carried out with rigor and efficiency. I work directly with the local director in Egypt to select and assign consultants, while the Delivery Manager on the French side oversees the client relationship. This allows for a dual-level management: strategic on the client side, operational in Cairo."

What are the strengths of your Cairo testing center?

"We focus on security and quality. Our facilities meet ISO 27001 standards and are protected against any intrusions. In terms of services, we offer three main solutions to meet the varied needs of our clients:

Technical Assistance: To strengthen an existing project team, billed at a daily rate with a commitment to providing resources.
Grouped Technical Assistance: To bring in key expertise, billed at a daily rate with a commitment to resources and results.
Third-Party Application Testing: To achieve a specific objective, billed at a fixed price with a commitment to results."*

How does this translate concretely for your French clients?

"Clients benefit from local expertise while keeping a French-speaking point of contact. I ensure that each assignment meets European standards and that communication remains smooth. This makes outsourcing much simpler and more reassuring for them, especially for critical or sensitive projects."

With Hanaa and our team in Cairo, the testing center positions itself as a reliable and secure partner for French companies looking to outsource all or part of their testing in a rapidly growing market.

Component Testing: The Cornerstone of Application Performance

QESTIT Team — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 09:40:10 GMT

Why Component Testing Is Essential

Component testing verifies the functionality and behavior of individual parts of an application. It focuses on both correctness and performance.

APIs are also part of this scope: as the connectors between systems and software, they must be tested just like any other component. From the application’s perspective, API testing and component testing fall under the same testing layer.

In practice, the goal is to ensure that each element of the software works as expected, after the code is delivered and before integration testing.

What to consider before, during and after your migration to SAP S/HANA

QESTIT Team — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 07:33:52 GMT

Migrating to SAP S/4HANA is a crucial step for organizations looking to improve operational efficiency and accelerate digital transformation. To ensure a smooth transition, successful migration requires careful planning across three key phases: before, during and after the migration.

How to Succeed with Performance Testing and Ensure Observability

QESTIT Team — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:00:00 GMT

Why Performance Testing is Essential

Performance testing ensures that an application can meet user expectations and technical requirements. It measures response times under load, analyzes system behavior under real-world conditions, and anticipates the maximum volume the application can handle.

It’s also crucial for identifying system limits, testing resilience, and validating compliance with requirements such as contractual response times. In other words, it’s the best way to ensure that an application remains reliable, robust, and performant once in production.

The earlier these tests are introduced in the project lifecycle, the more they safeguard the user experience and reduce risks.

Stay efficient with a Cloud infrastructure at the best cost

QESTIT Team — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 06:30:00 GMT

A reality check on cloud architectures

Today, for most of our clients, the priority is no longer massive migration to the cloud, but building an infrastructure tailored to business needs—at the right cost.

By the end of 2025, the requirements of running generative AI models could consume up to 49% of total cloud infrastructure capacity. This shift is already underway and, as AI-related expenses grow, public cloud costs are becoming a real challenge for businesses.

The all-public-cloud approach is now outdated. To save both resources and money, companies are moving towards hybrid architectures.

Capacity Testing: Key to Efficient, Cost-Effective Cloud Infrastructure

QESTIT Team — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 15:20:02 GMT

Performance testing —and more specifically capacity testing—helps companies size and validate their cloud infrastructure. The focus is on reducing cloud costs by optimizing resource usage and implementing a smarter, more fine-tuned approach to the cloud.

Obfuscation explained: How Obfuscation Helps Attackers Outsmart Antivirus Systems

Martin Bishoff — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 09:51:11 GMT

In recent incident response reports, an ASPX file named UpdateChecker.aspx has surfaced repeatedly. The specific name is irrelevant — next time it might be StatusReport.aspx or healthcheck.ashx. The key issue is that the malicious payload is heavily obfuscated. This article explores the concept of obfuscation, common attacker techniques, and how organizations can detect and neutralize such threats before harm occurs.
