Current Test Strategy

Activities distribution

Action: Please use the tables below to describe how the test activities are assigned to organizational units in the company. We are interested in the following test types: Unit Test 7, User Acceptance Test 8, Cus-tomer Development Test 9, Integration Test 10, Regression Test 11 and Technical System Test 12. For each activ-ity in each table, please mark the appropriate organizational units (one or more) which are responsible for this particular activity.

If there are any comments or additions regarding activities distribution please use the field under the table.

In each table for each activity mark at least one responsible organizational unit.

Comment to the table above: <Please enter your comment here>

7 Unit Test – the lowest level of testing where the program or transaction is tested and evaluated for errors

8 User Acceptance Test – represents end-to-end testing from the business perspective. The purpose of that is to prove that initial business requirements were

implemented exactly and in accordance to specifications made before

9 Customer Development Test – mixture of Unit Test and Integration Test with scope limited to the customer’s own development

10 Integration Test – is accomplished through the execution of predefined business flows, or scenarios, that emulate how the system will run your business. In-

tegration Test starts with the testing of the cross-functional integration points and ends with the end-to-end testing of critical business processes

11 Regression Test – test of critical business processes after a change to ensure that a) any problem has been fixed and that no other previously working

functionality has been harmed as a result of the changes and/or b) that newly added features working as designed and have not created any unexpected side effects

12 Technical System Test – test aimed to verify the production system environment from a technical standpoint, e.g. to test if the system can be started /

stopped properly, if the basis technical infrastructure is working fine and the whole system in conjunction with database and operating system performs well from technical point of view. Among this the following technical tests are usually part of Technical System Test: backup and recovery, system administration, printing and faxing, failure scenarios, disaster recovery

Definition of test scope

Action: Please use the table below to document how you evaluate which test cases are needed for specific software changes and software maintenance. In other words, which methods and strategies are in use to help in decision of which test cases should be executed after a change of a specific type?

Test Scope

Possible methods

Change type

projects regular main-tenance

hot fix process

General regression testing of all core business processes

Analysis of changed / new objects and affected application area

Evaluation of customizing settings to identfy which processes are configured and therefore most likely used and potentially affected by changes

Evaluation of load profile (e.g. EWA 13, ST14, RBE 14, etc.) to find the business processes with a high load (meaning that such processes could also be most critical for everyday work)

Only new functionality will be tested, usually no Regression Testing

Others: <Please enter an additional method here if there is any>

13 EWA – Early Watch Alert

14 RBE - Reverse Business Engineer - a tool used for process-oriented analysis and continual optimization of SAP production systems. Using data from pro-

duction systems it is possible to analyze how functions in the SAP System are used and identify potential for improvement

Customer specific quality targets and criteria

Completeness of any test plays an important role in the total success of the test. A complete test of a complex business scenario very often cannot be created without participation of the people who deal with the scenario in their day-to-day work.

As the major goal of any test activity is to get reliable results, a controlling of correctness, completeness and grade of detail is very important.

Action: Please answer the questions below.
