Business Scenario : Key Terms

Test Scenario

Test Case

Test Scenario is the high level business process that has to be validated

Test case is a sequence of steps to execute the business flow.

17

Business Scenario : Process Flow …… 01

Navigate to Transaction Code SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN Maintain a project E1_SALES with key project information like Project Start and End Date, Project Team members, Milestones, Blueprint selection etc..

18

Navigate to SAP Quality Center -> Site Administrator and create a new project E1_SALES under default domain


Note: In SAP Quality Center: - Assign the users to the project - Enable “Enterprise Integration SAP Extension

19

Navigate to Transaction Code SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN Map the SAP Solution Manager Project to SAP Quality Center Project “E1_SALES”


20

Business Blueprint : Navigate to Transaction Code SOLAR01 Define a new business scenario “Sales” under Business Scenarios Folder. You need to navigate to Business Process Folder structure tab and define the Sales Process steps as shown in the figure


21

Business Blueprint : Navigate to Transaction Code SOLAR02 Note that you can see this tab only after successful integration between SAP SolMan and SAP Quality Center

Navigate to “Transfer to SAP QC by HP” tab and a Test Object


22

Business Blueprint : Select the Test Object for the business process

Business Blueprint : Test Object is created for the business process


Once the Test Object is created Navigate to Menu ->Configuration -> “ Send Data to Quality Center”

23

Mark the business scenario “Sales” This will transfer the Test objects to SAP Quality Center as Test Requirements


All the Test Object from SAP SolMan are transferred as Requirements in SAP Quality Center

24

Convert these requirements into Test Cases and Design Steps to derive Test plan


25

Manually, define the steps for the Test Case. Note that, you can use BPT and SAP TAO along with QTP to generate the steps

Navigate to Test Plan tab, you should see a Test Case


26

Manually, run the Test Case Step by clicking the Run button in Test Lab Tab

Once the Test Case is executed, send the Test Case Results back to the Solution Manager by navigating to Tools menu as shown.


27

Navigate to Transaction Code SOLAR_EVAL. You should see the Test Case Results in the Solution Manager

Sales Process : Regression Testing …… 11

28

Regression testing

- partially retesting a modified program.

- general assurance that no additional errors were introduced in the process of

fixing other problems.

- Repetitive process

- Automation


29

VB Script is generated by QTP for all the actions performed and it is shown in expert view

In Keyword view all the SAP screen objects can be seen for the actions performed.


30

The generated script in QTP is saved which can be further uploaded to QC

QTP generated script is maintained in the HP QC as shown in the figure. We can also invoke QTP and execute the script from QC itself.

Sales Process : Performance Testing …… 14

31

Performance Testing

- system performs under a particular workload.

- validate and verify scalability, reliability and resource usage

The different types of performance testing :

1. Load testing (Test de charge)

2. Stress testing (test de stress)

3. Endurance testing (Test endurance)

4. Spike testing (pic de charge)


32

Vuser_init, Actions, Vuser_end are the 3 components for any load runner test

Code for the business functionality is saved in Actions.


33

Establish connection to upload LR script to QC.

The load runner script saved in QC can be executed from QC by invoking Load Runner.

Sales Process : Reusable Business Components …… 17

34

Business Components are created in the Business Components tab

The Business Process components are grouped to form different test scenarios

Sales Process : SAP TAO …… 18

35

SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization

- Generate automatic tests during regression testing of SAP

solutions, quickly.

- Creates components from the screens of a transaction and

parameterizes them.

- Supports maintenance of components


36

Inspect will identify all the components for the particular Transaction Code


37

All the components are sent to Business Components tab in QC

Test Case is created with all the components from TAO
