Working with Test Case Templates

Test case templates are available for the business functions that are delivered with the enhancement packages. These help you to reduce the implementation time and efforts. With the test case templates you can test the new functions that belong to the scope of a business function. The use of test case templates gives you the following advantages:

Using the test case description, you can find out how to test the new functions and what you have to consider.
You can plan your tests using the test case templates and calculate the efforts accordingly.
You can prepare the content of the tests,for example, by creating the test data required.

For more information about using test cases, see SAP NetWeaver Library under Test Workbench.

Features

The test case templates delivered give you examples that show you how to test the new functions. You can, of course, add further test cases.
Test case templates are available for all business functions whose functions are part of your ECC system.
You can access the test case templates in transaction SFW5. From there you can navigate to the related SAP test case catalog for each business function.
