Creating Test Cases

In SAP Solution Manager 7.2, you create test cases for a business process step in a solution.

  1. In the Solution Documentation view of the Test Management work center, select a solution.

  2. Select a branch and choose open.

  3. In the Column Browser, drill down to the business process step, for example, for which you want to create a test case.

    In the table below, you see the elements that are included, for example executables and test cases that have been assigned already.

    Right-click into the table with elements and choose Start of the navigation path New Next navigation step Test Cases End of the navigation path. Then you can choose from the following options:

    • Assigning an existing test configuration.

      When you choose this option, you have to select a test configuration.

      Then you define further information for the test case:

      • Processing status

      • Responsible person

      • Test classification, such as the following:

        • Functional integration test

        • Generic functional test

        • Regression test

        • Single functional test

        • User acceptance test

      • Test data variant

      • Search terms: This can be helpful if you have many test cases and want to assign further characteristics, for which you can search in the quick criteria maintenance.

      • Target logical components

      • Keywords

    • Creating a new test configuration.

      With this option, you can create a new test configuration and record a new test script (or assign an existing test script. When you choose this option, the editor for test configurations opens, and the popup in which you define the header data.For more information, see Creating Test Configurations and Test Scripts.

      When you have completed the test configuration it is assigned to the selected business process step.

      Then you define the characteristics for the test case as described above.

    • Creating a new test document for manual testing, from a template.

      Also for test documents, you also define further test case characteristics:

      • Status

      • Sensitivity

      • Priority

      • Keywords

      • Owner

      • Responsible

      • Test classification (see description above)

      • Duration

    • Uploading an existing test document for manual testing.

      You can upload any local text file with a written description which guides the tester through a test case.

    • Assigning an existing test document for manual testing.

      You can assign the same document that has already been uploaded for another test case, or you can copy an existing document to create an independent version.

  4. Newly created test cases appear on the element tab for the business process.

  5. Save and close the window.

You can now assign the test cases to a test package, under Test Plan Management. For more information, see Test Plan Management.

Test Case Types

You can use the following test case types when you create a test:

  • Test Document: refers to manual tests.

  • Test Configuration: refers to automatic tests for all automatic tools that are registered in your system. (Tools for composite tests and the eCATT test tool do not need to be registered explicitly.)

Note Note

You may want to deactivate certain test case types, for example, because the license of a third-party test tool has expired.

In this case you would cancel the registration of the respective third-party test tool. For more information, see Configuration of Test Management.

End of the note.
