Process documentationSAP Solution Manager and Test Automation Framework

 

The test functions and tools are almost all provided by SAP Solution Manager and SAP Test Data Migration Server. The following graphic illustrates the process.

Process

  1. Identify the test scope.

    Perform the following process steps, depending on the change type:

    • New SAP solution: The SAP Solution Manager solution documentation functions design and document business processes, and catalog them hierarchically. The user departments formulate business requirements in the solution documentation. They assign manual and automatic test cases to the business processes in the solution documentation.

      Create automatic test cases based on eCATT, Component-Based Test Automation (CBTA), or certified external tools, directly in the business process context, with the Test Automation Framework.

    • Update an existing SAP solution: Check whether important applications or critical business processes are affected by the update, with the SAP Solution Manager Business Process Change Analyzer.

  2. Plan the tests and set up test systems.

    • The SAP Test Data Migration Server (TDMS) supports the automatic creation of test systems with low data volume.

    • Create one of the following types of test plans:

      • In the Test Management work center:

        In the Test Plan Management view, you can display, change, copy or delete test plans.

        With the Business Process Change Analyzer, analyze business processes that are affected by a change and have to be tested again. Base your test plans on the analysis results.

    • Summarize selections of test cases to test packages and assign the test packages to testers.

    • Schedule automatic tests, for example, each night.

    • For better test execution control, base a workflow on a release status schema. Testers will receive an e-mail when they can start the execution of their assigned test packages, or when the execution must be stopped.

  3. Perform the test.

    The SAP Solution Manager Test Management work center is the central point of entry for performing and evaluating tests.

    • In the Tester Worklist, the tester sees a list of all test packages assigned to him or her.

    • The tester can also call and process his work list directly via the link in the E-Mail notification.

    • With status info system, display, print and process test plan status analyses.
