Procedure documentationRecording TBOMs During Manual Tests

 

Record dynamic TBOMs by executing manual test cases.

Recommendation Recommendation

Test cases are often performed after implementing changes. As the existing TBOMs may no longer be up-to-date after changes, it is useful to combine the creation of TBOMs with performing the test cases.

In this case, give the testers the instructions below.

End of the recommendation.

Prerequisites

  • You have created a solution documentation.

  • You have assigned an executable entity to the relevant node.

  • You have created a manual test case.

  • In the solution documentation, you have

    • assigned the manual test case to the same solution documentation branch, on the Elements of <executable name> tab page

    • specified the executable entity as test object:

      1. In the context menu of the test case, choose Assign Executables.

        The system displays all executables the test case can be applied to. If the test case is on business process level, for example, you can assign all executables related to the process and its subnodes, for example business process steps.

      2. In the Tested column, specify the executables to be tested. By default, you choose all executables.

  • You have created a test plan or package containing manual test cases, for the solution. The manual test case is in this test plan or package. For more information, see Creating and Editing Test Plans.

  • You are assigned to the test package, as tester.

  • As tester, the user parameter AGS_BPCA_TB_FR_TWKL has the value X (upper case) for your user.

    1. In SAP GUI, choose Start of the navigation path System Next navigation step User Profile Next navigation step Own Data End of the navigation path.

    2. On the Parameters tab page, add the user parameter and value.

Procedure

  1. In the Test Management work center, choose the Tester Worklist view.

  2. Choose the test package containing the manual test case.

  3. Select the test case and choose Run.

    You go to the Manual Test Case Execution screen.

  4. In the TBOM Trace field, choose Create.

    Note Note

    The TBOM Trace field is displayed only if the user parameter AGS_BPCA_TB_FR_TWKL has the value X.

    End of the note.

  5. In the Executables list, specify the executables for which TBOMs are to be recorded.

  6. Display the test case.

  7. Choose Start Test Execution.

    The Run Test dialog box appears.

  8. Check the test case, to specify

    • the paths for which the TBOMs are to be recorded if multiple executable reference paths are displayed

    • whether the TBOMs are to be rerecorded (default), or whether a transaction is executed by taking different paths through it (TBOM run option Enhance)

      For more information, see Recording a Dynamic TBOM In Multiple Runs.

  9. Choose OK to confirm.

    The Run Test dialog box appears.

  10. Choose OK to confirm.

    The system starts the application, and records the TBOM at the same time.

  11. Choose Start Recording.

  12. Execute the test case.

  13. Stop the TBOM recording.

Result

In the Manual Test Case Execution screen, the message TBOM created successfully, is displayed.

You have performed the manual test case, and recorded a TBOM at the same time.
