Tester Authorizations

The information on the test developer authorizations is devided into the ones needed in the central system and the ones needed in the tested systems.

eCATT Authorizations in the Central Test System

Although they are not involved with test development, testers still require authorizations for the object S_DEVELOP that allow them to execute and display test objects. They also need authorization to start the Test Workbench so that they can open their worklist. This results in the following authorizations:

Authorization object	Field	Value	Description
S_TCODE	TCD	STWB_WORK	This allows the user to start the Test Workbench.
S_DEVELOP	OBJTYPE	ECTC	Test configuration
	ACTVT	03	Display
	ACTVT	16	Execute
	DEVCLASS	Any values, for example, Y, Z for any package in the customer namespace	Package(s) whose objects the user may work with.
	OBJNAME	Any values, for example Y, Z for any package in the customer namespace	Object type the user may work with.

eCATT Authorizations in the Tested System

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

Authorization object	Field	Value	Description
S_RFC	RFC_TYPE	FUGR	Function group
	ACTVT	16	Execute
	RFC_NAME	SCAT	Test tool access routines
		SECATT_SFW	eCATT functions to Switch Framework
		STTF	CATT test tool functions
		ECATT_REMOTE_EXECUTE	Execution of external eCATT modules
		ECATT_SUT	eCATT Info in tested system
		SDIFRUNTIME	Interfaces for Type Runtime Objects
		SETRM	eCATT in tested system: DDIC, FUN, ABAP, SAPGUI
		ECATT_RTTI	Runtime Type Identification
		THFB	Task handler functions
S_RFC	RFC_TYPE	FUNC	Function module
	ACTVT	16	Execute
	RFC_NAME	DELIVERY_GET_INSTALLED_COMPS	Information about installed Software Components
		ABAP4_LEAVE_TO_TRANSACTION	Leave to transaction
		RFC_SYSTEM_INFO	Information about the system
		ECATT_SET_CALLER_ATTR	Store caller information in global data
S_DEVELOP	OBJTYPE	ECSC	Test Script
	ACT	16	Execute
	OBJNAME	*	Object type the user may work with.

Note

Note also, that the authorizations listed above do not allow to record or replay function modules (FUN).

To be able to record and replay functions modules, you need to assign additionally either the role SAP_BC_ECATT_TEST_FUN (with profile S_ECFUN) or the following authorizations:

Authorization Object	Field	Value	Description
S_TABU_DIS	ACT	03	Display
	DICBERCLS	SS
S_TABU_NAM	ACT	03	Display
	TABLE	TFDIR, USR01	Table TFDIR contains all existing function modules and USR01 all existing users. TFDIR authorization is needed, for example, that eCATT can check in the target system, if a certain function module exists. USR01 authorization is needed to get the date format of a user.
