This part of SAP Library gives you an overview of the changes and new features in SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SP10 since SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SP08.

This information is provided as release notes, which are structured by Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) processes. The following table gives you an overview of new, enhanced and deleted functions in the Test Management process.

Test Preparation

Function

Type of Change

Description

More Information

Creating TBOMS semi-automatically

New

You use Usage and Procedure Logging (UPL) to create a TBOM. The system analyzes the environment to determine which objects are in the executable entity. Additionally, the objects are filtered using the object usage data provided by the UPL function of your system.

Creating TBOMs

Business Process Change Analyzer

Function

Type of Change

Description

More Information

Performing an analysis in iterations

New

When you run an analysis, the system automatically creates subsets of analyzed objects if a large number of objects is affected by changes (in case of an Enhancement Package, for example). These subsets are analyzed one after the other. You do not have to create the subsets manually to run the analysis successfully. SAP Note 1716642 is obsolete.

Analyzing Business Processes Affected by Changes

Refreshing test case data in the background

New

If you get a time-out when refreshing test case data (if you analyze large SAP Solution Manager projects or solutions, for example), you can schedule the refresh as a background job.

Analyzing Business Processes Affected by Changes

Generating Recommendations for Test Cases

New

The Test Scope Optimizations gives recommendations which automatic test cases to create where test cases are missing, or which manual test cases to replace by automatic test cases. The recommendations are based on a percentage of objects you want to be covered by automatic test cases.

Generating Recommendations for Test Cases

Test Plan Management

Function

Type of Change

Description

More Information

Copying multiple test plans

Enhanced

You can mass-copy multiple test plans and define naming rules for mass-copied test plans.

Copying Test Plans, Defining Naming Rules for Mass-copied Test Plans

Editing attributes of test plans and test packages

Simplified

The navigation was simplified.

Editing Test Package Attributes, Editing Test Plan Attributes

Test Repository

Function

Type of Change

Description

More Information

Creating test configurations and test scripts

Enhanced

The Test Composition Environment supports the following application types:

  • ABAP Web Dynpro

  • Java Web Dynpro (SAP NetWeaver 7.31 or higher)

  • SAP Portal

  • Web (limited)

  • Business Server Pages (BSP)

Recording a Test Script Using Component-Based Test Automation

Composite test cases

Enhanced

You can compose an end-to-end test configuration of steps which you have created in various test tools: eCATT, CBTA, or third-party test tools.

Mixing eCATT and Third-Party Test Tool Steps in a Test Script

Component-Based Test Automation

New

A login schema defines the UI controls used to log on to a web-based system under test at recording and execution time.

Creating a Login Schema

Component-Based Test Automation

New

A guided procedure supports the CBTA configuration. You configure the systems under test, and create users, for example.

Configuring the SAP Solution Manager Back End of CBTA

Component-Based Test Automation

New

Self-checks allow you, as the administrator of the SAP Solution Manager system, to verify the installation and configuration of the CBTA client are correct.

Performing Self-Checks

Component-Based Test Automation

Enhanced

Configuration options allow you, for example, to adapt, on request by the SAP support, the log settings, or to adjust the contrast of the CBTA user interface.

Installing and Configuring the CBTA Client

Component-Based Test Automation

New

If a CBTA test script does not work, you can execute the components (test steps) one by one. Component-Based Test Automation offers a graphical overview of the (test steps) and displays the corresponding UI components.

Running a CBTA Test Script in Debug Mode

Component-Based Test Automation

New

To perform actions which cannot be performed with the default Component-Based Test Automation (recording/playing a test with Adobe flash technology, with Java applets, or with web controls that have complex javascript handling, for example), the CBTA Runtime Library Manager allows you to enhance CBTA with custom functions.

Enhancing CBTA With Custom Code

Component-Based Test Automation

New

Creating test profiles allows you to reuse combinations of RFC and HTTP destinations and user credentials under different system roles. Using test profiles makes the system role concept available for HTML-based UIs (via URLs).

Creating a Test Profile With Logon Data for SUTs

Test Evaluation

Function

Type of Change

Description

More Information

Using BW-based reports to analyze test plans

Enhanced

In the BW-based reports, you can aggregate statuses in custom categories and assign a message priority. You can make the custom categories available to the other users of the system.
