How different is SAP testing with other testing, is it enough to know the normal testing procedure and few tools like mercury QTP, winrunner, loadrunner, etc...
Please throw some light on this..
Thanks-

Hello Rahul Saxena,
SAP testing is also simillar to other applications testing. We can use many testing tools like Mercury QTP, QC , winrunner, loadrunner, Test Director etc...

Differences Between SAP PDF and Normal PDF Files ???

Hi,
In SAP, we are converting Delivery Outputs to PDF and getting with another win32 application using RFC.
However, PDF's taken from SAP don't work like other PDF's which Created with Adobe PDF Creator.
For Example,
I have a delphi application which converts PDF files to image files (JPEG,TIF). Normal PDF files converting normally but SAP PDF Files can't convert.
What's the differences between "SAP" PDF Files and "Adobe PDF Creator" PDF Files.
thanks
ibrahim

I believe that the converter internal to the system is based on a specific release of the adobe software, whatever was current at the time of release. In newer releases, the converter is probably upgraded to the newest release of adobe.

Regression Testing
Testing for whole database. Bring all the data into another server and do the testing is called regression.

Retail: IS-Retail sytem and POS related Query in SAP Testing

Hi Experts,
I am expecting clear answer for my query.I am going to sit in SAP Testing project so i just want to know the t-codes which we use to send the O/B IDOCs to POS and the I/B IDOCs from POS to SAP R/3 system.What's the t-code i have to use if i didnt send my IDOCs to POS(where i have to monitor the POS O/B?i want t-code).What's the t-code i have to use if i am not able to get the IDOC or Data from POS to my R/3 system.(where i have to monitor the POS I/B? expecting t-code).I want complete process from R/3 to POS and from POS to R/3.I just want to know what t-code do we use in SAP Testing project as an SAP IS-Retail Functional consultant with SD.Hope for reply from SAP experts and hope for clear and step by step t-codes and procedure from experts.Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Sandhya

Hi
1) ECC to POS : a) WDBM_HPR tcode is use to trigger idoc for assortment list
b) WPMA tcode is used for triggering idocs for MC based promotion,Merchandise Hirarchacy & mixmatch discounts.
2) POS to SAP R/3 : data will pass through XI. POS Tlog files will be used by XI to process data into SAP.
WPUUMS & WPUTAB Idocs will be used to send data to R/3.
we can check in R/3 by using Tcode WPER for the creation of billing documents & Article documents.
Error handling :
1) check in weo5 & in XI monitoring for outbound idocs.
2) check in we05 inbound & in XI for inbound monitoring.

Does SAP test and certify MII against the latest operating system patches?

Does SAP test and certify MII against the latest operating system patches?

If by latest OS patches you mean - does SAP retest MII every time MS puts out a new patch or critical update, then the answer would be no (probably not overly surprising).
This would be more impacted in 11.5 because of IIS and the only-Windows operating system, but with v12.x and the platform/OS combinations supported by NetWeaver, MII is really abstracted from the O/S through NetWeaver so that would be the angle to pursue with regard to re-testing and validation. I most assuredly cannot speak to the validation process for NetWeaver pertaining to operating system patches and updates, but I would assume OS service pack levels would be dealt with according to release cycles, but it would be very reactive for every patch that comes along for each of the operating systems in the matrix (http://service.sap.com/pam).

Sap testing

Hi i am fresher to SAP, and want to learn about SAP testing, well also i have a knowledge of sap abap, so if anybody can send me any documentation on sap testing or any link, i am preparing for an interview, so please send me as soon as possible.

Hi Rajan,
SAP Testing should include system performance when running abap report, application, or even background jobs. Thus, I would recommend to focus on performance tuning. The normal transactions that I normally use are SE30 and ST05. Some expensive SQL statements may slow down the application performance.
Also, you can look at the following links for your reference:

What exactly are the SAP Testing Methodologies?

Hi,
I am researching on the various testing methodologies in SAP and came across a couple of discussions such as this link:
testing methodologies in sap
It mainly discusses:
AcceleratedSAP (ASAP) methodology, and tools available for AcceleratedSAP such as Project Estimator, ASAP Implementation Roadmap and Project Plan, etc
I do not see those as TESTING more so as approaches for implementation such as SDLC or the Accenture Development Life Cycle.
1. Am I misunderstanding what they mean in the SAP environment as u201CSAP Testing Methodologiesu201C ?
2. What does it mean when a job description indicates
     "Knowledge of software development and testing methodologies (S/W life cycle)"
   ii. Also, what is "S/W life cycle"
Thanks

Sap test system needed / sap test system gebraucht

Hi,
maybe somebody of you could give some hint where I can find a test system for sap in a downloadable version 4.5 upwards. I have an sap mini basis system (mbs) in the version 4.6 (c) , but no valid license key on hand due to the fact that the old one has expired and there would not be any new license key available from sap company itself because of already having done the steps up to the latest version.
If somebody could also advise where to find sap test versions in between 4.5/4.6 and the latest it would fantastic to get to know - I need an test environment for abap programming in the first place.
Thanks in advance to you...!
Best regards and wishes !!!
Hallo,
vielleicht gibt es jemand, der mir sagen kann wie oder wo ich ein Testsystem für die ABAP-Entwicklung bekommen kann.
Ich habe für Windows bereits ein MiniSAP-System in der Version 4.6 (c), bei der der Lizenzkey aber nicht mehr funktioniert, da abgelaufen.
Falls mir jemand einen Lizenzkey für diese Version zur Verfügung stellen kann, wäre mir vorerst sehr damit geholfen.
Aber nichtsdestotrotz würde mich eine neuere Test-Version von SAP sehr interessieren. Falls mir jemand hiervon eine Kopie geben kann oder einen Hinweis darüber wo gebührenfrei oder kostengünstig eine solche zur Verfügung steht oder gestellt wird, wäre ich sehr froh darüber, da sich sicherlich seit 4.6 schon ein wenig geändert haben wird, in Menüs u.a. .
Danke im Voraus für eine Antwort auf meine Frage!!
Viele Grüße!!

Hi again,
during installation the java installation folder needs to be selected. After having chosen this the installation aborts by showing a message with the options retry, view log, stop.
This message is generated:
An error occurred while processing option SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR1 including Enhancement Package 1 > SAP Application Server ABAP > MaxDB > Central System > Central System( Last error reported by the step :The subkey 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AntiVirSchedulerService' does not exist on the 'localhost' host.). You can now:
Choose Retry to repeat the current step.
Choose View Log to get more information about the error.
Stop the option and continue with it later.
Log files are written to C:\Programme/sapinst_instdir/NW701/AS-ABAP/ADA/CENTRAL/.
Also some message about my anti-virus software came up saying that there is a problem with with localhost. I have now deinstalled all java from my computer to plainly install the version needed: version jre 1.4.2.x, but I can't find this version in the internet, I mean not in the way that it is obviously the right version. Some description says j2se and other more even though I was googleing for jre 1.4.2 download.
Is there anybody who can advise?
Thanks for any hint.

Carrier path as SAP Testing for Basis Administrator

Dear Experts,
With my experiance as Basis consultant I would wish to work on SAP testing. I would like to get some suggestions on
- Is that right option as a Basis admin to look for SAP testing.
- How is the market value and carrier path as a SAP testing candidate.
Regards,
Karthick

Hi,
You must stick to your Basis domain and look for testing operations to ensure a stable and sustainable system.
Usually you will have Standard Operating Procedures and you may conduct preventive / proactive tests on regular basis or while the system is changed.
This kind of testing is a pre-requisite for the functional folks to conduct their tests.
Eg: Installation of support pack, enhancement pack and tests weather the installation is successful or not. Usually the system itself will say that the installation is successful, here you can check for dependencies and conduct some extended tests - manual / automation.

Can any one explain about the SAP Testing process in Implementation Project

Can any one explain about the SAP Testing process to be carried out by BW Consultant in an Implementation Project which is in Testing Phase..

hi bharat,
Two types of testing is possible in bw
unit testing
integration testing
Integration testing - It is the phase of software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. It follows unit testing and precedes system testing.
Integration testing takes as its input modules that have been checked out by unit testing, groups them in larger aggregates, applies tests defined in an Integration test plan to those aggregates, and delivers as its output the integrated system ready for system testing.
Unit testing - One part or the whole part of transfer rules , update rules, etc..
Integration testing - The whole data flow cycle to be tested

SAP Testing-beginner

Hi friends,
             I am very new to testing concepts.I am familiar with abap concepts very recently,Wanted to learn testing also.
colud some one please guide to learn the techinuques in SAP testing from the scratch.
I have fwe basic questions tooo....
1.what is test script
2.what is test plan
3.what is test cases
4.what is automated test scripting
5.what are automated test tool.
Friends, kindly guide me to walk through this environment.
Thanks in Advance
Rinky

I have felt that a test plan and test script is kind of being one and the same.    They are pathways for testing a process or item.   I may or may not be right.
Test cases are a groups of test plans that are grouped together to test different aspects of a process.
Test case for Sales orders could include the following test planes which would be their own scripts.
     Create Order
     Change order
     Add line items
     Deleted line items
     Change qty of line items
     Return order
So each time a change was made to the Sales Order area you would run Test Case Sales Order which would include the above listed test cases.
Automated scripting - A simple text batch file could also be thought as a automated script. Scripting can be used in day to day processes as well as in testing.   Some common testing scripting tools are eCATT, WinRunner, LoadRunner, and QuickTest.
To go a little farther, I use Test Director to manage our test plans, and test cases.
