Administration

In the Administration view, you can make some basic settings for Test Organizer and BW reporting. You can also specify generally valid rules for the TBOM filter and TBOM criticality.

Features

Test Organizer Settings

This is where you can make various central settings for test management. For example, you can define a workflow or set up a release status schema. 

Client–Side Automated Test Tool

You can register a client–side automated test tool (CBTA or a third-party test tool) with which you want to create automatic test cases. 

Third-Party Test Management Tool

You can register a partner tool that you want to use to manage test cases and test plans. 

Test Case Types in SAP Solution Manager

You can adjust types of test cases according to your organization's test strategy. You can, for example, deactivate a specified test case type if the license of a third-party tool has run out.

Test Tool Attributes

Here, you can configure the attributes that a third-party test tool can provide for a test script. 

Test Case Execution E-Mail

You can adjust E-Mail notification templates according to the corporate designs standards of your organization.

You can register users who are to be informed of test results, automatically by e-mail. 

Default Required Time of Test Case Types

You can specify a default time required per test case type. If no other time required is specified in a test case, the system uses the default time required to optimize the test scope.

Reporting (Analytics) Settings

Configure the BW system for BW reporting, and activate BI content. 

TBOM Utilities

Here, you can call up various utilities for creating or editing TBOMs. 

Maintain TBOM Filter

The TBOM filter specifies whether the Business Process Change Analyzer is to ignore specified objects in the TBOM.

Component-Based Test Automation (CBTA)

Component-Based Test Automation allows you to create automatic tests.

An automatic test is made up of components. There are two kinds of components: default and screen components:

• Default components perform basic actions like clicking on a button or selecting a tab. They are delivered in the SAP Solution Manager system.
• Screen components are generated for either SAP GUI transaction screens or SAP CRM Web UI application views. In both cases, they are created with a parameter for each field on the screen. The value of a parameter is given to the corresponding field during execution.
  There is only one screen component per SAP GUI transaction screen or SAP CRM Web UI application view, so a screen component can be shared among several tests.

You maintain the screen components and tests in the Test Composition Environment. They are both eCATT test scripts, so CBTA assets are compatible with the eCATT framework.

Note

You can only test business processes of SAP ABAP ERP and CRM products (SAP GUI and SAP CRM Web UI only).

Integration

• SAP Solution Manager: Store data required to create, optimize, and maintain tests and components.
• SAP system under test (SUT): Support both SAP GUI, and SAP CRM Web UI technologies

Features

• You can record tests.
• You maintain tests via shared components.
• You can maintain changed screen components.
