Scenario Testing vs. Integration Testing

Hi,
I am really confused with all the Testing lingo. There are so many different types of testing. They all sound like one another. Can somebody please clarify for me the difference btwn scenario testing and integration testing. A definition of each with a brief explanation would be nice.
Thanks

Hi Ali,
Testing is actually the process of exercising or evaluating a system or a system component by manual or automated means to verify that it satisfies specified requirements. It is the process of executing a program with the intent of locating errors.
There are certain levels of testing as below:
1) Unit Testing or Component Testing or White Box Testing or Scenario Testing
2) Integration Testing or Interface Testing
3) System Testing
So, Scenario or Unit testing is taken care by the developer by executing the particular piece. Example is Developer wrote one program to display the list of vendors details. So, the developer tests whether the program is displaying the data correctly and in the correct format meeting the requirements.
Integration testing is a logical extension of unit testing. In its simplest form, two units that have already been tested are combined into a component and the interface between them is tested. A component, in this sense, refers to an integrated aggregate of more than one unit. In a realistic scenario, many units are combined into components, which are in turn aggregated into even larger parts of the program. The idea is to test combinations of pieces and eventually expand the process to test your modules with those of other groups. Eventually all the modules making up a process are tested together.
Integration testing (sometimes called Integration and Testing, abbreviated I&T) is the phase of software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested together as a group.The purpose of integration testing is to verify functional, performance and reliability requirements placed on major design items.
Example: A third party system sends vendor data file into our unix box. Our application program read the file and uploads the data and posts to different tables there by creating some document numbers.
Hope this helps.

  • ASCP Scenario Testing Scripts

    Hello! Group,
    We are in the process of starting the implementation of the ASCP Module 11.5.8. I was wondering if any one in the forum would be willing to share or guide me in creating a scenario testing script for the ASCP module to validate the functionalities.
    Any pointers regarding what to look for, what worked, what failed is also appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Solai.

    Hi,
    There is no ready made solution to this. What you have to do is..
    a)what is the Proposed Process for the customer.List all the elemental details and it is objectives..like Data input and its expected out put results. I give you one simple example.
    Assume that customer is using Resource Availability with Efficiency and utilization consideration. You need to validate the data input and data calculation on this.
    Like wise, you need to identify the each elemental activities that forms your proposed Process ; Based on that Propose the test scripts.How ever you can make to test all the functionality of the ASCP and infarct it may not work 100% as well.So go with Business Process and form the test scripts.
    thanking you,

  • SAP HR SCENARIO TESTING

    Hi All,
    Please guide regarding SAP HR testing process and procedure for functional consultant.
    How the process go and what are the T codes applicable?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Satish

    Hello Satish
    Depending which all sub-modules of SAP HR HCM you have implemented and how many types of users you are having.
    Better thing will be to prepare a document to test all process with actual screenshots taken from system.
    Heading for the document will be like 1.Business scenario name 2. Transacation Code 3. Input Data test description and 4.Expected Behaviour 5. Actual Behaviour
    Lets take an generic scenario for OM,PA ,TM and PY .
    Example:
    1.For OM you need to test whether end user is able to create Positions or not and if he can pull out all the standard reports.
    2. Test for PA40 all the actions configured and PA30 .
    3. If Time Mgmt is there whether End user is able to maintain his 0007 ,leaves and absence.
    4. Checking for payroll calculations like PF Deduction, ESI Deduction ,Third Party deductions ,payment made through 0014 and 0015 are reflecting correct in system and Payslip. Absences or LOP getting deducted  and Leave encashmentis bein paid from system.
    5. All standard reports pulled are giving desired results.
    Everything needs to be tested from a end user perspective.
    These all are generic things might help,better to post a specific question for issue are facing.
    Regards,

  • SAP Scenario Testing

    I understand that  SAP scenario are tested in Mercury software, any possible link or a website where i can find info on how to use mercury testing software for SAP

    Hello,
    Mercury is a software which is only used to record and execute your test scenarios. Mercury will not interact with SAP and test it automatically. The test steps should be defined in Mercury manually and the test results should also be recorded then you may be able to execute.
    The test results, time, process areas ...etc can be tracked by this.

    Hi experts ,
    When doing an IDOC to file scenario the status of the IDOC in XI (the Trace section @  SXMB_MONITOR) shows that
    PARTY &SERVICE NOT DEFINED
    the failure occurs at message splitting stage .
    more details :
    the sender is represented as a business system
    the receiver has no party and has only a business service
    By chance when i tried to check message status in INTEGRATION ENGINE @ RWB
    i was able to find that XI is trying to send the mesasage to Receiver with party name 12345 this 12345 is the same which i gave in we20 as the partner number .
    What could be the reason ?

    This is the error

  • SCENARIO CREATION IN INTEGRATION SCENARIO

    hi
    I have one sender and two receivers. I am creating integration scenario in repository. in integration scenario creation i have to create three swim lanes or
    two swim lanes? can i add both receivers in one swim lane? and how will i made
    connection between sender and both receivers?
    can any one please help me?
    thanks&regards
    venkat

    Hi Venky,
    I guess you will be sending the same data to both receivers.
    So you do not have to use 3 swim lanes. Create only 2 swim lane.
    1. One for Sender
    2. Second one for Receiver (no need to think here for 2 receivers, think it when you do receiver determination)
    Now, Making a connection will be very easy, just select the ACTION of Sender and Receiver and right click and say create connections.
    For creating and working with integration scenario just go through the below link:

  • Scenario of xMII integration

    Hi,
    Can you please give a small scenario integrating SAP R/3, xMII and any MES? Basically, I want to know typically how data flow happens from R/3 to MES or vice versa through xMII.
    Regards,
    Amalesh

    Hi, Amalesh.
    A common scenario would be to set up xMII as an IDOC listener that can receive downloads of production orders as LOIPRO IDOCs.  When a new IDOC is received, xMII's business logic engine can be used to parse/processes that order.  Examples might be splitting the order into production-size lots/batches, allocating it to equipment, creating batches/lots/order in MES or automation systems, and so on.  xMII has a variety of connectors that can be used to talk to these plant systems.
    Looking the other way, perhaps a user or an automated system collects material consumption/production information.  This data can be aggregated/formatted by xMII and sent to ERP via RFC or BAPI calls to perform production confirmations, goods movements, etc.
    Best regards,
    Rick

    hi,
    >>>My QSN is how to test my scenarion in different clients. I have tested in 100 client , now i want to test in 300 cleint before moving to QA.
    if you want to test it with another client of ERP
    then you need to change the config from directory
    or use transport targets that will change it for you when you export
    and import from directory

  • Unit Tests / Integration tests

    Hi Experts,
    I am planning to enchance the existing extract structure in R/3 by including new fields.
    After that, I need to enhance my structures and existing infoproviders in BW.
    I have just finished the blue printing phase.
    I would like to know what are the unit tests / test scenarios / test plans / test cases that I need to consider? Is there a list of standard unit tests?
    Also, what about integration tests?

    hi,
    Unit testing is the one in which the developer himself test the code.
    In Unit testing the developer will test whether all the statements will execute based on different conditions.
    There should not be any dead code after Unit test.
    Dead Code means, for any given combination the control will not go to the statement.
    you can go thru the following links
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_Implementation
    http://hosteddocs.ittoolbox.com/CM021805.pdf
    Look at the below link
    http://softwarefinder.mbtmag.com/search/for/Techrepublic-Cost-of-SAP-Implementation.html
    refer to the following links.
    http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/eai/implementation/archives/gui-windows-types-unit-test-template-12961
    Integration testing is usually where the func team run processes end to end. If security is involved then generally you are validating that the roles contain required transactions, there aren't any gaps where roles can't support the processes. You may want to test org levels and +ve and -ve test controls here but it really depends on your implementation. Most security testing is usually done in UAT but you would preferably have func team using real end user roles in IT, though generally not in the first passes where they validate their config

  • ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration Scenarios with SAP DS for ESA v3

    Hi,
    we are planning two PoCs of Integration Plattforms. One of our major requirement set is SAP Integration into our existing SOA.
    Because we also have R/3 4.7 Systems in production, we are planning to test ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios with these Integration Plattforms.
    My question is:
    We are looking for are smart solution to get a SAP Test Environment, where we can test ALE/IDOC und RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios.
    It is possible to do this with SAP DS for ESA v3 or shall we better use IDES for that purpose?
    Best regards,

    Hi Abhishek,
      This is our scenario. We are doing an integration of SAP HR r/3 system with the CRM system. We need housing information details of the employees which we have in custom infotype 9310 in SAP HR system and we need those details in the CRM system. So am planning out for an ALE/IDOC approach for the integration and gonna  maintain the 9310 details in a custom table. In the CRM system, we gonna build a BOL layer for accessing the 9310 details. Also i'm preparing a HLD for this process. I wanna read and go through few same HLD's before i submit my proposal to my client. Please suggest me and help me out.
