 1.5 Testing a Process (Back End)

Use

In this lesson you test whether process ZTPR, which you created in the Creating a Process step, runs correctly in the system. You can use a test program that runs through the complete process flow without using a portal environment.

Procedure

  1. Start the test program RPASR_TEST_PROCESS_EXECUTION ( Test Process ).

    In the HR Administrative Services IMG, you can use the Start of the navigation path Configuration of Forms/Processes Next navigation step Process Configuration Next navigation step Test Process End of the navigation path activity.

    Caution Caution

    The program simulates the actual user interface. However, the process itself is not simulated, it is really run. The program also saves data to the back end. Therefore, use this report in your test system only and not in the production system.

    End of the caution.

    Note Note

    The user interface (portal, form, and so on) that you see in this program is not exactly the same as the actual user interface. For example, all fields are only listed as a table. The pushbuttons are also displayed in different positions to where they appear on the actual user interface. However, all pushbuttons behave in exactly the same way as in the actual form. All standard values and input helps also work exactly as in the actual form.

    For more information about the program, see the related documentation that you can access using Application Help .

    End of the note.

  2. With this program, you can easily check whether certain fields are not displayed or if the fields are not filled with the correct values or input helps. Furthermore, the program enables you to branch directly to the workflow log and to Case Management (transaction SCASE). Choose Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Workflow Log End of the navigation path or Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Display Process Object End of the navigation path .
