Testing Effort and Risk

Testing Enterprise Applications – 3 Generations

3rd Generation “Test Acceleration”

Tools: SAP TestAcceleration andOptimization (TAO)

üLibrary or pre-built test components for SAP appsüAutomatically scans the SAP

metadata to generate all necessary test componentsüEliminates record/replay

activitiesüSignificantly reduces upfront

development time while speeding time to ROIüGreatly reduces ongoing

maintenance due to re-scanning capabilities

1st Generation “Record and Replay”

Tools: WinRunner,QuickTest Pro,Rational Robot

üAllowed for parameterizationüCould be run in an unattended

fashionüCould iterate many times and

test many more conditions×Required many man hours to

record and program each script

×A lot of duplication of activities×High degree of ongoing maintenance

×Required programming support

2nd Generation “Business Process”

Tools: BPT from Mercury

üAllowed for componentizing pieces of test casesüReduced development time of test

casesüMinimized maintenance due to

component conceptü“Drag and drop” tests ×Still had to record test scripts×Maintenance at script level still

required×Required significant programming
