Excluding Objects from the Optimization
The system optimizes the test scope under the assumption that an object has been completely tested when it has been tested at least once, so even if an object is used in several business processes, testing one node in the solution documentation is sufficient for the optimization strategy “test each object once only”. If you want to test some objects in their node contexts, exclude them from the optimization strategy.
Procedure
In the Administration - Change Impact Analysis
view, choose 
BPCA Test Scope Optimization
Specify Test Scope Optimization Exemptions
.
For more information, read the documentation of the customizing (transaction SPRO) for SAP Solution Manager, under Capabilities
Test Suite
Business Process Change Analyzer
Administration
Specify Test Scope Optimization Exemptions
.
Result
If you have excluded an object from the optimization strategy and the object is simultaneously present in several nodes in the business process strategy, the system handles the object separately in each node. To achieve test coverage of 100 percent, you must therefore add all nodes that contain the object, to the test scope.
If multiple nodes that use such an object are not yet in the test scope, the object is displayed multiple times under Objects Not in Test Scope
. If you select the object at least once and choose the Put in Test Scope
function, the system automatically adds all nodes that use the object.
