Working with Error List of Test Executions

Grouping Columns

Since the table for listing the errors of a test run contains a very large amount of information, the individual columns are arranged in groups. Each group is headed by a special grouping column, which always contains the same pushbutton in every single row. You use this pushbutton to hide or show individual columns belonging to this group. A group of columns can have one of three states:

These three states are arranged in a fixed sequence, one after the other. If you click the relevant pushbutton, in any row, the display of a whole group switches to the next state:

Information Groups

Group: Key

This group occupies the first columns of the table; it contains the key fields. The columns of the Key group always have a blue background.

If you double-click an element in the Procedure Number, Object Number, or Script Number columns, this takes you to a new mode in the eCATT log display. You can also use the following pushbutton in the table menu:

Group: Create New Messages

This group has a pink background and contains two columns related to the Test Workbench. One displays the status for the respective test in the Test Workbench at the time the error list was called. If you double-click the status, a new mode opens, which takes you directly to status maintenance of the test.

You can also go to status maintenance by clicking the following pushbutton in the table menu:

In status maintenance, you can view the existing messages on the Messages tab page, or create a new message.

The second column displays the number of messages that already exist for this test case. You have the option of displaying all the information required to create a new message:

• Select a row or put the cursor in one of the row fields and then choose in the table menu. A dialog box appears containing the existing details for the error message, which you can copy to the text of a new message.

You also have the option of displaying an overview of the existing messages. Select a message row or put the cursor in an element of the respective error and click the following pushbutton in the table menu:

Group: Execution Data

The third column, also with a blue background, contains administrative overview data for the test. The Status column refers to the result of a test run at the time of execution.

Group: Error Path

This group has a yellow background and contains information about the content and organizational context in which the test was executed. This incudes information about the test plan, test configuration, and the superordinate test script.

If you double-click an element, this takes you directly to the respective status analysis, the editor for the test configuration or test script. You can also display the test script by choosing the following pushbutton in the table menu: .

Group: Command

This group contains information about individual eCATT commands called within a test script. If a test script has not been integrated into a superordinate test script, the values for the Top Level Test Script ( Error Path) and Test Script ( Command) columns are identical.

Group: SUT Data

This contains information about the system name, client, and user name of the tested system (SUT = system under test). In remote calls, the name of the RFC destination is specified here.

Group: General Errors

This group lists all errors that have occurred, in chronological order, with information about the origin, message type, and so on. The following message types are supported by eCATT:

-> Group: T100 Error

If errors with a T100 error message occurred during the test run, this is where you find detailed information.

-> Group: Exceptions

This group contains detailed information about errors with the error message EXCEP.

-> Group: ESF Error

If the error message for the error that occurred was an ESF_T100 message or an ESF_FREE message, the details about the error are displayed in this group.

Group: Variable Parts

This group displays the variable parts of a message text (for example, for T100 messages the variables MSGV1 - MSGV4). In the default setting, they are in one row, one after the other.

Double-Click Properties of Individual Columns

Double-clicking elements in the table takes you to various destinations. In many columns, this is an additional dialog box with detailed information about the selected error. In some columns, however, double-clicking takes you to additional useful functions:
