Quality and Test Management 

Quality and test management enables the time requirements, costs and risks that accompany software changes to be minimized.

Tasks

●     eCATT is available for business intelligence (BI) on a reduced basis. eCATT can be used for all transactions that are executed on the BI server with the exception of transaction RSA1.

Transaction RSA1 cannot be used for tests for technical reasons. However, you can test most of the function areas of RSA1 using transaction RS_AWB_REMOTE.

●     In the trace tool environment (transaction RSTT), the trace tool allows you to record and play back user activities for a particular area of application.

In the reporting, planning and OLAP technology application area, you can save selected executions of queries and the subsequent query navigations, as well as particular actions in the planning modeler on a long-term basis.

In addition, you can define, execute and evaluate automatic regression tests in the integrated CAT tool of the trace tool environment.

In the reporting, planning and OLAP technology application area, the processing of automatic regression tests checks the functional accuracy and completeness of query results (BEx) as well as of query result sets that are required and stored by the Planning Modeler.

For more information, see Trace Tool Environment. This environment replaces and enhances the functions of the OLAP trace tool (see OLAP Trace Tool (Old)).

Constraints

●     You cannot test the BEx tools using eCATT because they are not based on ABAP technology.

●     As yet there are no test plans or eCATT scenarios available for delivery with BI.
