Test cases are collected for the tester in test packages. A test package is based on a test plan. Test cases are chosen from the test plan for the test package. If you have created a test plan for a process in SAP Solution Manager, you can also select test cases and executables that are to be tested, for a test package, from the test plan.
In the Test Plan Management
application, select a test plan.
Under Test Package List
, choose .
The application to manage test packages opens.
Enter data as required.
Fill the mandatory fields on the General Data
tab:
Test Package ID
: This is the identifier for your test package. It should be unique within your test plan.
Description
Responsible person
Priority
The others information on this tab, except for the creation and change information, is inherited from the test plan, and display only.
On the Settings
tab, you can enter the Planned Start Date
and Planned End Date
for the test package. They should fit in the timeframe defined for the test plan. Dates for the test package are per default filled with the dates that were defined for the test plan.
If you define a planning level for the test package, you can enter the overall resource requirement under Planned Effort
.
You can add attachments to document the test process or context. The attachments that have been created for the test plan, can be used here as well.
On the Test Case Selection
tab, select the test cases that are relevant for the test package. For more information, see Creating and Editing Test Plans.
On the Testers
tab, assign the persons who execute the test cases. Each tester must be registered as business partner in SAP Solution Manager. Their technical users and the systems on which they are allowed to work must be defined accordingly in their business partner profile.
You can temporarily hide an assigned test package from a tester, by locking the user assignment. The tester will then not see the test package in the tester work list. This lock is user-specific and does not depend on test plan status value.
Save and close the window.
Test packages can be created depending on existing test sequences. For details, see Creating and Editing Test Plans.
As a test coordinator, you can change, for example, the person responsible or the priority of packages.
Note
If test execution has been started, the status and defects assignment will be lost if you remove the tester or deselect a test case.
Adding the tester or re-selecting the test case, again, before saving, will restore this information.
In the Test Plan Management
application, select the related test plan.
From the Test Packages
area, select one test package and choose .
