This data object contains a set of references to a test script, a system data container, and possibly several test data containers. A test configuration contains all the information necessary to run an automatic test without further user interaction.

The separation of test script, test data, and system data allows for a considerable degree of reuse.

This data object consists of an executable script and an interface for data transfer.

This data object contains a set of parameters that can be maintained independently of a test script. Parameters can be ABAP simple types, structures, or tables.

This data object identifies instances of SAP systems. It can be maintained independently of the test script.

Having the system data as an independent object allows test scripts to be efficiently redirected when the system landscape changes.

All the actions executed by eCATT can take place from a single designated system. This system also stores all the data. This makes the administration and execution of tests easier.

All eCATT objects are Repository objects. Therefore, you can take advantage of the standard SAP transport tools.

There is no naming convention for eCATT objects. A name is an alphanumeric string up to 30 characters long. A name is not case-sensitive.
