Indentification of critical business processes affected bychange events such as SAP Support Packages

No test recommendations for SAP Enhancement Packages

Test Systems with outdated test data

Productive System copy is too expensive and rework intensive

Creation of appropriate test data for automated test cases

4 Test AutomationCreation of automated test cases is time consuming and expensive to maintain via skilled QA specialists

Automated test cases get damaged by change events and need time consuming repair by QA Specialist

Testing Effort and Risk

Testing Enterprise Applications 3 Generations

3rd Generation “Test Acceleration”

Tools: SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization (TAO)

Library or pre-built test components for SAP appsAutomatically scans the SAP metadata to generate all necessary test componentsEliminates record/replay activitiesSignificantly reduces upfront development time while speeding time to ROIGreatly reduces ongoing maintenance due to re-scanning capabilities

1st Generation “Record and Replay”

Tools: QuickTest Pro (QTP)

Allowed for parameterizationCould be run in an unattended fashionCould 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: Business Process Testing (BPT)

Allowed for componentizing pieces of test casesReduced development time of test casesMinimized maintenance due to component concept“Drag and drop” tests

×Still had to record test scripts×Maintenance at script level still required×Required significant programming support
