eCATT: extended Computer Aided Test Tool (BC-TWB-TST-ECA)

Purpose

Use extended Computer Aided Test Tool (eCATT) to create and execute functional tests for software based on R/3 technology. The primary aim is the automatic testing of SAP business processes. Each test generates a detailed log that documents the test process and results.

eCATT enables automatic testing in SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for Java. In order to offer a complete test solution that covers other GUIs, eCATT has interfaces to third party tools.

Implementation Considerations

Test cases usually make R/3 System database changes. Therefore, you should not normally run them in productive systems.

Caution

In general, do not use eCATT to manipulate data in a productive system: eCATT is a test tool. Only use eCATT in a productive system if you know exactly what will happen.

Integration

eCATT can be used with the Test Workbench. You can migrate test cases from Computer Aided Test Tool (CATT) to take advantage of the better features of eCATT.
