SAP Cloud ALM delivers prescriptive task lists both for new-implementations and for release/upgrade projects of SAP cloud solutions.

1. For SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, SAP Cloud ALM provides “Release & Upgrade” project templates that guide customers through every step of the quarterly upgrade (for example, regression testing, extensibility checks, go-live).

2. SAP Cloud ALM for Implementation also ships ready-made project content for SAP Ariba solutions, covering fit-to-standard workshops, configuration, testing, and deployment activities.

C. Upgrading SAP SuccessFactors – SuccessFactors updates are delivered automatically by SAP; Cloud ALM offers no dedicated upgrade project template.

D. Implementing Tricentis Test Automation – Tricentis is an external tool; Cloud ALM merely integrates its test results but does not provide project templates for implementing the product itself.
