SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization (SAP TAO):

Purpose Of SAPTAO:

The highly secure and mission-critical nature of enterprise resource planning (ERP) data requires manySAP customers to test their ERP applications and business processes regularly. Many SAP customersuse expensive customized manual procedures to test processes and applications. Manual testing istime-consuming, and frequently requires a team of experienced quality assurance (QA) professionals.Subject matter experts also often need to spend a lot of time communicating the process data flow totesters. SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization streamlines the creation and maintenance of ERP businessprocess testing.

SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization helps QA specialists to break down a test into componentswhich are:

Assembled into test cases in a simple interface, using drag and drop Parameterized for flexible reuse, such as reusing a test that has updated data Maintained easily and inexpensively, even when screens, flows, or service packs change

SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization is designed for SAP-GUI-based applications. SAP TestAcceleration and Optimization users should be experienced quality managers who are familiar with theSAP Quality Center application by HP, SAP GUI ERP applications, and business process testing.

Automatic testing with SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization maximizes:

Testing deployment SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization, with SAP Quality Center, dramatically reduces the amount oftime required to build and execute test scripts.

Reuse SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization eliminates the need to create new tests whenever acomponent changes. If one component in a group of tests changes, replace that component, and re-consolidate the tests

Maintenance SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization records component parameters. It provides a Microsoft Excelspreadsheet to save parameters for reuse and maintenance. SAP Test Acceleration and Optimizationhelps you to determine the need for repairs, and helps you to repair your components.

Robustness The SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization inspection process ensures that SAP Test Accelerationand Optimization tests are more robust during changes. Inspection examines the parameter in acomponent, not just the screen object behavior.

Configuration Settings

Click on the Configuration Link and set the following in the respective tabs as described below.

Inspection /UI Scanner

The Inspection tab page in the SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization client selects multiple SAP GUIscreens and transactions for testing, in an easy-to-use interface. It then determines whether thesescreens are valid, and sends them to SAP Quality Center as screen components.

Set up Inspection

Upload components to SAP Quality Center:

To upload the screen components to SAP Quality Center If this option is not selected, the parametersOverwrite components and Delimiter for Component/Unique Identifier on the Import/Export tab page are

used to name new components

Component path

The location of components created during inspection Duplicate components are overwritten without confirmation.

UI Scanner: A plug-in module for HP Quickest Professional enables you to collect information from one screen at atime, and sends the screen objects to HP Quality Center as a component. The UI Scanner scans allobjects in the screen including dynamically generated objects. The UI scanner requires an active QuickTest Professional installation on your local work station.

Import/export Import/export exchanges components between the SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization client andSAP Quality Center. The import/export module does the following.

Export components from the inspector in the SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization client to SAPQuality Center Import components from SAP Quality Center to the SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization client Export components from the local memory to SAP Quality Center Export a component from the UI scanner and send it to SAP Quality Center, in the background

PFA also uses import/export while creating the test components

Procedure 1. Choose Import/Export tab page. 2. Select the required options.

Process flow analyzer:The process flow analyzer (PFA) records all user interactions, and the sequence of screens, in abusiness process, and stores them in the SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization repository. Itautomates inspection, retrieval of dynamic SAP GUI properties at runtime, and creation of components.

Procedure On the PFA tab page, make the following settings: The PFA will create a second spreadsheet to store the recorded outputs. Do Not Use Screen Components Whether screen components are to be inserted in the test. If selected, only default components will beused. Do not select this option unless required.

Steps for Process Flow analysis are:- 1. To add a transaction, choose. 2. Select a transaction e.g. VA01. Name for analysis is already populated with time stampconcatenated to it. You may change it. 3. Choose “Start” for Process Flow Analysis.

Execute the process flow as a business user. 6. After executing the transaction completely, stop the PFA by clicking on “Stop the PFA” button in thePFA controller window. 7. A report is generated which captures the activities performed by business user

Change analysis:Change analysis analyzes the impact of changes due to upgrades, SAP patches, or customdevelopment, on a test, component, or consolidated component. The impact is found by comparing theresults of the technical bill of materials (TBOM), transport requests and SAP patches.

Set Folder for BPCA In this section, you specify: The folder created in SAP Quality Center to store the test set created by BPCA Whether to use BPCA result ID as the test set name Change analyzer functionality helps in repairing tests, which are impacted by a software change. SAPTest Acceleration and Optimization relies on SAP Solution Manager – Business Process ChangeAnalyzer (BPCA) result. The BPCA result Id could be searched on the basis of a solution or project

Steps for Change Analysis:- 1. Input your result Id, and choose “Change Impact Analysis“.

Repository The SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization repository is part of the SAP Solution Manager system,and stores data required to create, optimize and maintain components and tests. The repositorycontains the following:

User interactions and the sequence of screens in a business process Information specific to SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization, that cannot be retrieved by other tools Results or states during process flow analysis, before the component is created

The SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization repository tools comprise the following.

Component Explorer The user can see the list of all the components created by himself for a specified QC Domain and QCProject.

PFA Explorer The user can search for PFAs created till now, depending on search strings. The user can specifyproperty to search on. The different properties which are possible to be searched on are:- • User • Analysis Name • Transaction • System • Client • Date Time • Language

Once the search is done the user can click on one of the PFA to see more technical details.

ConsolidationConsolidation creates a single component from the objects and data in an SAP Quality Center test. Thecomponent contains all the code and screen elements in a test. It executes much faster than theindividual components and helps you to maintain business processes. Consolidation also takesdependent tests into account.
