# Smart Optimization for SAP

Panaya's Change Intelligence (CI) for ongoing changes provides real-time change impact assessment for test cycles in any project, release, or ongoing enhancement. Panaya lays out the risks associated with your planned transports to allow you to evaluate your test plan. Panaya can help you to optimize your test plan by analyzing your code changes. Our AI solution will help you remove unnecessary tests and generate missing ones for impacted areas.

This article explains how to -

- Perform **risk assessments** from a testing **cycle**
- Select relevant **transports**and link them for evaluation
- Obtain immediate insights into your current coverage with guided suggestions to**optimize your test plan**

## Linking SAP Transports

First, define and link the relevant **SAP transports** for step-by-step recommendations on optimizing your planning strategy and eliminating any unpleasant surprises associated with the change.

1. Open up the [**Test Tree**](/v1/docs/tree-view)
2. Highlight the relevant Cycle.
3. Click the **Optimize**button. Alternatively, select the **Summary tab******and click **Add transports**.

4. You can either **paste**your transport codes or use the **search**option. When using the paste option, click **Search**. Select the relevant transactions and click **Link**.

### Testing Risk

Your overall risk level is shown here. You can review the transport risk distribution and the number of transports with the highest risk. You can also review the number of transports not included in the risk assessments for various reasons. To investigate further, use the **Edit**button and explore the risks associated with each transport. Select the **Testing tab > Entry points** to further assess the risk and analyze each object affected by these transports.

#### Recommended Actions

Take a look at Panaya's recommendations based on our smart algorithms.

- **Add suggested tests** from other cycles—This feature allows you to increase testing coverage by copying suggested tests that cover the changes from other cycles in your project. When adding from other cycles, Panaya creates a copy of the tests in the optimized cycle with a newly generated test ID. The tests will be in a 'Change Analysis Cloned Tests’ folder.
- **Missing Tests** You can automatically generate tests for entry points where we did not find relevant tests. The tests will be in a 'Change Analysis Generated Tests’ folder.
- **Unrelated Tests** Consider removing tests that are not related to the actual changes. If necessary, you can move them to another cycle or permanently delete them.

**Good to Know!** Panaya also generates a new **Change Analysis**activity All **Change Analysis**activities can be managed from the [**Development and Workstreams lists**](https://success.panaya.com/Release-Dynamix/Development-Module/1049747901/How-to-sort-filter-group-Development-activities.htm).
