You can determine the scope of testing required for cross-system business processes, manage the tests centrally and execute the tests.
In test management you run through the following phases:
Determining the testing scope
When introducing new SAP solutions, the testing scope can be derived from the Business Blueprint. When changes are made to the system, for example activation of support packages), you can determine the critical business processes using a change impact analysis.
Test planning
You set up a test system, generate test data, develop manual or automatic test cases, create test plans, and assign test packages to suitable testers.
Testing
You initiate the execution of manual and automatic tests and check the progress and results of the test.
Transferring the changes to production operation
