With the Scope and Effort Analyzer
, you can analyze the scope of activities and effort before you start the physical deployment of Enhancement Packages (EHP) and Support Packages (SP).
The Scope and Effort Analyzer
provides you with a comprehensive analysis with minimal customer input. All analysis steps of the Scope and Effort Analyzer
are performed in the background after you have entered the necessary input data. Some of the most important and time consuming analysis activities before a physical deployment of EHPs and SPs are:
Identification of affected custom code and modifications and required adjustments in the customer system, since an EHP or SP comes with updates of the SAP standard objects
Identification of required test scope, test planning, creation of missing test cases and execution of manual tests
With the Scope and Effort Analyzer
analysis results, you can determine the change impact on custom code and modifications and estimate the rework effort for custom code and modifications as well as the effort for regression tests of impacted business processes.
The Scope and Effort Analyzer performs an impact analysis before project start to get effort estimate and test scope
