Tester Authorizations

Use

This document lists the authorization settings required to be able to start and execute automated tests based on eCATT. The authorizations are categorized by system:

The Test Content System acts as the central point in the test system landscape, holds the test object repository and starts the test scripts.
The System Under Test provides the business application and its services to be tested.

eCATT Authorizations in the Test Content System

The required authorizations to able to start eCATT Tests are summed up in the role SAP_ECST as a template for customer authorization implementation.

Testers require authorizations for the authorization object S_ECATT and S_DEVELOP that allow them to execute and display test objects. They also need authorization to start the SAP Test Workbench so that they can open their Testers Worklist.

This results in the following authorizations:

Authorization Object	Field	Value	Description
S_TCODE	TCD	SECATT	Start the eCATT Editor
		SECATT_LOG	Start the eCATT Log Selection
		STWB_WORK	Open the Tester Worklist (Test Organizer)
S_ECATT (or S_DEVELOP as an alternative for backward compatibility)	OBJTYPE	ECSC	Test Script
		ECTC	Test Configuration
		ECSD	System Data Container
		ECTD	Test Data Container
		ECSP	Start Profile
		ECVO	Validation Object
	ACTVT	03	Display
	ACTVT	16	Execute
	DEVCLASS	Any values, for example, Y, Z for any package in the customer namespace	Package, which the required objects are organized in
	OBJNAME	Any values, for example Y, Z for any package in the customer namespace	Names of the required objects

eCATT Authorizations in the System Under Test

The required authorizations to be able to use eCATT automation in System Under Test are summed up in the role SAP_BC_ECATT_TESTER as a template for customer authorization implementation.

If the test configurations being used by testers require access to remote systems, the tester must have the following RFC authorization in the remote system:
