Function documentationTest Configuration in the Test Automation Framework

 

It is recommended that you create the test configurations directly in your solution documentation, so that the SAP Solution Manager context is properly defined to derive the relevant systems under test.

Alternatively, you can create your test configurations in the Test Repository - Test Configurations application. From there, you can navigate to the Test Automation Framework for a selected object, if required, for example, to define the content for an eCATT script. The Test Automation Framework allows you to manage the following components of automated test cases (test configurations):

  • Test scripts

  • System data containers

  • Test data containers

Fore more information, see Components of Automated Test Cases.

The Test Automation Framework allows you to create automated test cases by creating a test configuration and the related test script in a single step.

You can create either test cases with the component-based test automation (CBTA), with composite tests, eCATT test cases or you can use external tools to create test cases.

You can edit, copy, rename, or delete test cases, and you can execute test cases and display execution logs.

The Test Automation Framework is integrated with the SAP Solution Manager system landscape. This means you do not have to create RFC destinations manually:

  • System data containers are automatically created from the solution landscape, and RFC destinations are automatically retrieved depending on the logical component group that belongs to the test case.

  • When creating system data containers, you assign logical components, while the RFC destinations are retrieved automatically.

  • If the system role of a test plan is changed, for all test cases contained in the test plan the RFC destinations are derived automatically when the test cases are executed.

  • When editing a eCATT test script, the interface of transactions or function modules is imported automatically from the SAP Solution Manager system landscape and displayed, if a system data container is assigned to the test case.
