Function documentationPartner Test Management

 

Partner test management integrates SAP Solution Manager and the partner's test management application. This allows the transfer of business blueprints, related documents, specifications, business requirements, links, and test objects such as transactions and custom programs. It can help you to plan an efficient testing phase.

This function is not available by default. To be able to use it, you must purchase SAP Solution Manager partner test management, and activate the business function (ST_QCA) explicitly. For more information, see 2301388Information published on SAP site.

You can open the Partner Test Management application on the SAP Solution Manager launch pad.

Features

In the Branch Association section, you can do the following:

  • Create, change and delete associations: Associations refer to a one-to-one mapping of a partner project to a branch in the solution documentation.

    Note that you cannot assign a single partner project to several SAP solutions in one SAP Solution Manager system.

    When an association is created, you can edit the view of the association. The view is the child of a branch in the solution documentation.

    You can delete an existing association. Then it is free to be associated with a different branch.

  • Push Solution Documentation: You can push the solution documentation from SAP Solution Manager to the partner test management system. After this, the quality manager can perform test-related activities, such as creating test cases and assigning defects to the test cases.

  • Display Test Results: After pushing the solution documentation to the partner system, you can view the test results by choosing Display Test Results. It includes the following details, for example:

    • The status of the test cases. For example, if there is an error, you can view the number of unresolved defects (in the SAP system) that are associated to the test case.

    • The time at which the solution document was last synchronized and the user who synchronized it.

  • Refresh Solution Documentation: If you select the check box, any changes made to the solution documentation are automatically updated in the partner test management system. There is a background job that runs daily to ensure that the updated information is available in the partner system.

  • Refresh Test Results: If you select the check box, the updated test results in the partner test management system are transferred to SAP Solution Manager. An hourly job runs in the background to ensure that the updated test results are available in the SAP Solution Manger system.

  • Push Status: Shows the status of the solution documentation. It reflects the status when the solution documentation is pushed from SAP Solution Manager to the partner system, and also when the solution documentation is pulled from SAP Solution Manager by the partner system.

In the Details sections, you can do the following:

  • You can filter document types and executable types that are transferred from SAP Solution Manager to the partner system.

  • Key Word Mappings: You can map custom attributes in SAP Solution Manager by using the user-defined fields of the partner system.

  • Logs: You can view details, such as the time at which the solution documentation was pushed from SAP Solution Manager to the partner system, and details about the user who has performed the action.
