Introduction:

eCATT stands for extended computer aided test tool. It is the extended version of CATT.

It is used to create and execute the functional tests. Main objective is to test the business process automatically. Test execution will generate the log which will document the process and test

results.

ECATT | 04/08/23 Slide 4

Pros and Cons:

Pros: Manual intervention is reduced drastically. Useful for automatic regression testing. Useful for rollout and upgrade projects. Test results are logged without missing. Both unit testing and end to end testing is possible.

Cons: Negative testing is not possible. Less flexibility in the testing. Steps involved with jobs are not possible to include in end to end testing.

Test Strategies:

Basically 2 test strategies are available

1) TCD Mode

> Suitable for testing the transactions which require manual input of values.

> Testing time is comparatively less

> To go to next step, manual intervention is required.

2) SAP GUI Mode

> Once executed, till the last step, it runs automatically.

> Suitable for the low volume testing.

In both these modes, TCD mode is efficient.

Chaining of the test scripts:

Chaining of the test script is done in the creation of test script. In our example, chaining is done for posting of vendor invoice (test script:

Z_F_43) and display of the accounting document (Test script: Z_FB03). Following are the steps:

> Execute transaction SECATT

> Give the name ‘Z_F_43_FB03’ in test script and click create

> Give the title ‘Vendor Invoice’

> Give the Component ‘FI-AP-AP-IC’

> Go to tab ‘Editor’ and click pattern

> In the popup window select Group ‘Test script reference’, command ‘REF’, Test script ‘Z_FB03’ and enter.

> Repeat the above 2 steps for the script Z_F_43 Parameterize the values of the scripts attached.

ECATT | 04/08/23 Slide 41

Chaining of the test scripts: Parameterize the import and export values related to Z_F_43.

Import values:

DR_AMT,CR_AMT,DR_PK,DR_ACCT,DOC_DATE,DOC_TYPE,CO_CODE,CR_PK CR_VENDOR.

Export Values:

DOC_NO Parameterize the values of the script Z_FB03.

Import values:

DOC_NO,CO_CODE,YEAR

ECATT | 04/08/23 Slide 42

Chaining of the test scripts:Document no created in F.43 is displayed in FB03. Hence, it is taken as export value in F.43 and import value in FB03.

Click save button. On the popup window, give package name ‘ZTTEST’ and click on save button. Transport request is created. With this, creation of test script for chaining is completed. All the rest of the

steps (i.e. test data container, test configuration) are same for this chained script also.

ECATT | 04/08/23 Slide 43

Data for execution of the test scripts:

Data should be maintained in test data container. It can be maintained in the following manner:

1) Internal variant: For small volume of the data, internal variant can be used. While creation of the test script, a default variant ‘ECATTDEFAULT’ is saved. For additional variants, use append variant function and add the variant.

ECATT | 04/08/23 Slide 44

Data for execution of the test scripts:

2) External variant: For huge volume of the data, external variant can be used. In the variants tab, mode should be selected as External variants/path.

> Go to menu Edit > Variants > Download copy file as .txt file.

ECATT | 04/08/23 Slide 45

Data for execution of the test scripts:

> Open the text file as excel file and add new data by giving variants for each row of the data

> Save the file as .txt file.

> Maintain the file name in file name field.

ECATT | 04/08/23 Slide 46

Execution of the test scripts:

Execute transaction SECATT Give Z_F_43 in Test configuration Go to Shared tab and select ‘S No termination, continue with next script

Command’ in error behavior. Go to UI Control tab and select ‘A Process in foreground, synchronous level’ in

start mode for command TCD. Then Execute Transaction is executed in foreground. Click enter button to go to next screen At the end of the testing, log is displayed. If start mode for command TCD is selected as back ground, directly log will be

displayed.
