Would offer to help.. As i have a unique ability to break the Finance Systems at work quite regularly.

So Far our SAP system has been online for 4 months and so far i have crashed the system 4 times.. Resulting in over 11000 people being unable to complete timesheets/expenses and other project related finances.

My experience with Testing software in my company is that it does not cover the abuse the staff will throw at it. We had a dedicated team of 90 Software developers/Testers for our finance system, the software has got verified for use in the live environment, for security and accounting standards. But the testing on Stability and resiliance against incorrect inputs from staff were given very little attention. So if you want someone to test it to see if it will break, where do i sign up?

How on earth did you manage that? There is something seriously wrong with your setup if you as an end user can manage that with SAP hehe

Exactly, beyond an end user getting an abap screen dump error page it is quite hard to bring an SAP system to a halt.
