Test Reporting


Create test cases and assign business processes

1. Create Business ProcessesThe business processes are technically definitely defined on the bassis of transaktions (TA).

4. Describe a test case individuallyOptional: Existing test case descriptions in the Business Process Repository are assigned automatically.

2. Tab test cases: Create / assign test casesThe test cases are linked to the business processes

3. Select Different Test Case Typese.g. eCATT - Test configuration, external applications

TA: SOLAR01/SOLAR02


Defining test cases on transaction basis

3. Automatically Supplied TransactionsWhen defining the business processes associated transactions are automatically included

4. Assign more Transactions and ProgramsFurther technical objects can be assigned individuall<

2. Execute TransactionsTransactions can be verified and skipping into the concrete SAP test systemes can be carried out

TA: SOLAR02


Connect test cases with Requests for Change & Incidents

21. Tab Service Messages: Connect test cases with Request for Changes (RFC), incidents, etc.The test cases can be linked to RfCs, incidents and numerous other operations

2. Select transaction typeThe process types can be more specified on the second level

TA: SOLAR01/SOLAR02


Affected processes transactions, …

and identify test cases!

Change Request

Test System

Reduce Test Scope: Business Process Change Analyzer

1. A demand triggers an RfC -What do I have to test?Which processes are affected by my RFC?

2. To run the Business Process Change Analyzer (BPCA) The BPCA determines the change impact and identifies the affected processes.

3. Reduce test scope of the test plan (Risk based test scope optimization)A test plan can be generated that is tailored to the processes affected by the change request.

generate test plan Significant reduction of test

coverage to 40 - 70%

TA: SOLAR_TESTPLAN


Example values for a test coverage reduction at an SAP EHP Deployment

EhP Deployment with approx. 180.000 changed SAP objects

Without BPCA:• 46 process steps to test• 73 test cases• 132 hours test execution

With BPCA:• 46 process steps to test• 32 test cases • 52 hours test execution

Quelle: SAP 2014

Example: test scope reduce with BPCA


Reduce test coverage to 61%!


„TBOMs“: Map business processes technically

2. Analysing business processesBased on TBOMs can analyse what processes are affected by an RFC of BPC. Identify relevant test cases

TBOMs:The "Technical Bill Of Material" is a "Technical BOM" which technically maps a process step:• Called transactions• ABAP Codes (Function modules, …)• UI: Dynpro 1000, …• Customizing tables, Master Data

1. Start TBOM recorder and execute business processThe business process is technically accurately identified and documented.


BPCA & TBOMs: Integrated Test Management

1. Select BPCA Type The BPCA analyses different types of RfCs:• Support Packages• Enhancement Packages• Business Function Activation• Transport Requests• Object Lists• Change Transactions

2. TBOMs evaluatingThe TBOMs are assigned to the process steps, transactions, and test cases. They can be evaluated and processed.

3. Execute test cases on transaction basisTransaction can directly be started and test case be executed in the SAP test system.The test case discription is being displayed and the tester is documenting and evaluating the test.

1. Tester WorklistIn the work center, the tester has a clear access to its test packages and test cases. Incidents and RfCs can be viewed and allocated.

Tester will be informed by Workflow about releases of tets zu be executed.

4. Connection with incidents and RfCsIncidents can be created and RfCs connected out of the test case.

11. Create test noteThe tester applies a test note. He can create a new document, upload a file, or copy the test description.Best Practice: Copy the Word-/Excel-/Power Point test description and use it as a template.

2. Create screenshots and paste them in the test case in an MS Office document.

Automation with the Extended Computer Aided Test Tool


Extended Computer Aided Test Tool (eCATT):

With eCATT automatic reusable test cases can be created and executed. The test cases keep the reference to the blueprint.

Functionality of eCATT:• Creates test cases automatically• Executes test cases• Automatic import of transactions in the test cases• Plausibility check for target system included• Interfaces for third-party tools• Tests of transactions, reports and scenarios• Test of remote systems• Verify permissions• Test updates (database applications, user interface)• Tests of the effect of changed customizing settings• Check system messages• Building new master data• Processing of mass data
