- Create, modify and read data from IFS OData APIs
- Use parameters in both URLs and body payloads
- Evaluate expressions using a C# syntax
- Call other scripts to divide larger tests into smaller units

"SAR" might not be able to replace proper integrations or efficient migration tools (performance has not been a primary goal), but it does solve a hole bunch of common problems, be it for importing data or automating processes in IFS Cloud. To me, the friendly syntax plus easy authentication are the two nicest properties, apart from all the scripting it can do, of course.
