ECATT vs Mercury QTP

Hi all,
Please, let me know the differences between
eCATT vs Mercury QTP,
Thanks,
kalyan chakravarthy

Hi Kalyan,
SAP eCATT is a automation tool meant for functional testing in SAP. It comes with WAS. Latest version is WAS 6.40. It is made in ABAP.
QTP is Mercury's tool, which is a third party tool for automation testing. The language used here is VB Script.
Both the tools are good. But the only drawback with eCATT as of now is that it can execute web based SAP transactions except web dynpro. So if the testing of SRM, CRM etc is involved, one is forced to use QTP.
QTP takes the wrapping of eCATT and executes in SAP.
If only SAPGUI based transactions are involved in testing than eCATT is the best tool to be used. And if web based transactions are also involved, forced to go for QTP.
Hope this clears your query.
PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by rewarding each reply.

ECATT and Mercury QTP integration.

Hi All,
We are evaluating the SAP eCATT and Mercury integration part for one of our project. So we have downloaded the following:
1. Mercury QTP version 9.1 (14 day trial version)
2. Mercury SAP Addin.
The SAP status is as follows:
1. SAP 4.7 Versions.
(a)SAP BASIS at patch level 48
(a)SAP ABAP at patch level 45
(a)SAP APPL at patch level 20
2. SAP Logon For Windows ( 640 Final Release ) ,Patch level - 23.
We have done the entire configuration at the SAP level like
1. Making "sapgui/user_scripting" value TRUE.
2. Creation of entry in ECCUST_ET table.
3. Also created the user ECATT_ET_USR with the necessary Roles.
After doing all this, when the ECATT is created with the "External Tool" option as "Mercury Quicktest Professional" it gives an error that
"Quicktest Professional is Not installed or Does not have license"
Please let us know whether we are missing any component which needs to be installed or if any other config is missing.

Rupesh.

I have done one project on with eCATT invoking QTP scripts by passing data between the tool tools .
1) Performance wise it will be slow as you will calling QTP scripts from eCATT .
2) There are few issues related to format compatibility when you try to pass special characters between eCATT and QTP .
3) To start with , kindly go through this article , i hope it will help you /people/community.user/blog/2007/01/15/integrating-ecatt-mercury-qtp-part-2

How to call eCATT scripts thru QTP

Hi friends,
I am trying to call eCATT scripts thru QTP.
Tell me the minimum requirements to communicate QTP to ECA system.
<b>Note:</b> I installed SAP Addins.
Thanks,
Nagaraju

Hi Nagaraju,
First and foremost, You should have a QTP installed in your system.
You should have a licence to use QTP in ECA.
Then, You should create a script for every QTP script you have and refext them in one of your master scripts or where ever you want to refer them.
While create an eCATT for a QTP Script, give a name, version(optional) and the QTP option in the external Tool field. Enter your script and give the mandatory fields like title, Component and then press on button "Script" and brouse to the QTP script location.,
Save your ecatt and use it anywhere as you use your general scripts, but remember to use REFEXT instead of REF to call your QTP encbled eCATT scripts.
Hope this answers your queries.

Can any one tell me what is SAP BASIS 620 Support Package level requirement for eCATT & Mercury QTP integration.
Currently we are running eCATT on R/3 4.7 with SAP BASIS Support Package SAPKB62003.

(we have done all the required configurations) :
From QTP to eCATT :
"The eCATT server you specified does not have the required support. Select another eCATT server or install a later version of eCATT on your server."
From eCATT to QTP :
"Error During Method Call in OLE API."
Also suggest if we are making some other mistake.
Thanks in advance.

ECATT versus QTP

eCATT and QTP are both automated testing tools.
eCATT can be used only to test SAP GUI, where as with QTP we can test other appplications also.
My question is when do we go for eCATT and when do we go for QTP?
And what is the reason for integrating eCATT with QTP?
And when we opt for QTP for testing SAP, what is the advantage over eCATT?
Thanks in advance
anyone please answer my question

Hi,
1.eCATT is used to test the SAPGUI based transactions.
2.If web based transactions such as CRM ISA, SRM EBP applications are involved, then QTP has to be used.
3. In scenarios where the End to End testing has to be performed using automation starting with Web Frontend to middleware interfaces and backend SAP Transactions such as delivery/shipping, we need to integrate QTP with eCATT.
Please take a look at this nice blog about QTP->eCATT integration.

Ecatt and QtP

Dear all,
I am trying to use Qtp and ecatt . I have made the required settings in Qtp and Ecatt.
I am also able to record the script using Qtp and the script is getting created in sap system.
I have also created the User Ecatt_et_usr still when i execute the script directly in ecatt i get the following error
" Failure when starting quicktest professional".
Can u please suggest me a way out.
thanks and regards,
Priya

Check whether or not you have the roles - SAP_ECAT, SAP_ECET and SAP_ECST in your login id.
Check the patch levels, support packages of the system
Check the external tool parameters in the ECCUST_ET table
Note : The mode of execution for external tool should be 'A' - With surface of external tool in the start options
Have a look at this blog: /people/community.user/blog/2007/01/22/integrating-ecatt-mercury-qtp-part-3
I followed the checklist religiously and things worked out fine for me this first attempt itself.
This is a straight forward integration and should work without creating any hassles
Good luck and hope I could be of some help

'Execution was cancelled in --- from --- runs'.
Also I got some other errors like,
'External test tool 'MERCURY QUICK TEST PROFESSIONAL' is busy and cannot create new test script'.
Can anybody answer what can be the reason.
Thanks,

You can also create a table with the desired records and drop this one.
CREATE TABLE PROFITS_TT2_TEMP AS
SELECT * FROM
(SELECT pt.*, row_number() over (partition by channel_id, cust_id, prod_id order by channel_id) rn
FROM profits_tt2
WHERE rn = 1;

QTP 10.0 and ECATT

I recorded a QTP ( 10.0 ) script with ECATT.
I define an INPUT parameter and not a export parameter (In the QTP and ECATT too.)
If I start the script with ECATTu2026.. get the report:
The argument u2018Name of parameteru2018 is defined as an export parameter while it should be an import parameter.
I start the script without ECATT, only the QTP Scriptu2026.runs perfectly.
I define the INPUT Parameters in the INPUT AREA in QTP
1.     File -->Settings --> Parameters
2.     ACTION Properties
3.     Action Call Properties
Can you help me?
Does anybody have an answer?
Many thanks for your help

Hi
There was a hotfix for QTP called QTPSAP_00008 which was required to enable QuickTest-eCATT integration features in QTP 10.
You can download the QTPSAP_00008.ZIP file from:

QTP Integration - eCATT FUNction call

Hello folks,
I am pretty fit in eCATT, but I am fairly new to QTP. I setup an integration in a demo environment and QTP only let's me "open" eCATT Scripts that were recorded with QTP. If I am recording eCATT with QTP i am limited to UI Recording via SAPGui Scripting.
Is there a way to call other eCATT's from QTP, to use more powerful eCATT options, like BAPI & FUNction calls? Or to directly call BAPIs / Function modules from within QTP?
Thanks!

hi,
"QTP only let's me "open" eCATT Scripts that were recorded with QTP"
QTP will open only those scripts which it has created.
it will not open an ecatt script which ecatt has created.
also we generally use qtp scripts to record and automate and then call the qtp scripts in ecatt.this way helps us use the features of both qtp and ecatt.
please revert back for any clarifications.
regards,
Rakesh..

Error when starting Mercury Quicke Test Professional

Hello,
I am executing the QTP scripts through eCATT. During execution I got an error ' Error when starting Mercury Quick Test Professional'.
Does anybody knows how to resove this?
Thanks,
Mahantesh

Hi,
This is a common problem if scripting is disabled either on server or on ur sapgui client.
for enabling at server got rz11 tcode and enter sapgui/user_scripting profile and enable scripting there.
Refer my sdn weblogs which shows minimum config for QTP and ECATT and also how to create and run the scripts.
