Using Quality Center (v9.0) to automate testing in SAP- questions/guidence

Hi,
First time on the expert forums for me. Hope you are able to help provide some guidance on this area for me.
Overview is our client is looking to fully automate testing in SAP for patches/upgrades/new developments by using Quality Centre v9.0 (which was implemented for test management as part of upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0)
I am starting to investigate this for them and looking for some answers on queries I have / guidance on whta is required to meet this objective.
- I have read mention of "SAP Quality Centre". Is this different to HP Quality Centre that we currently have installed? If it is different to HP QC do you need the SAP Quality Centre version installed to be able to automate the testing? Or is SAP QC if you just want to do it stand alone without using Solution Manager?.
- To automate testing in QC 9 is the implementation of SAP Solutions Manager required to enable it?
- Are other tools required to be implemented to enable the automation of testing in SAP ERP with HP Quality Centre ? eg for the process modelling (I read about the use of ARIS earlier?) or is the modelling done in SAP Solution Manager functionality?
- Is there qa brief overview anywhere on SAP or HP site that states the steps to automate the testing. eg Is the detail in QC for the transactions/parameters to use for each test or is this in SAP Solution Manager/Modelling tool? Also effort required in the implementations that are required (application wise) and effort required to get tests set up to the level required for the automated testing.
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. As you can tell I am coming at this form a point of nearly zero knowledge on how it all fits together/effort required.
Thanks

Hi
I luv solman so if u ask me i can do all with solman itself and say not to go with Quality center
but again it is upto project requirement
it is very easy to build the automated scripts in QTP etc used with Quality center but again bit more complicated in ECATT
its upto the ur decision but if u r gng with manual test case management forgot quality center and go with Solman
So far i have done 5 Test Management implementation including both type of test casees automatic and manual and all are managed with solman
moreover if u get service desk configured in place then its integrated with solman test management whic helps u a lot.....
one step ahead go for Change management.
Hope it ans ur query

How to test the SAP modules like SD and MM By using Quality Center and QTP

Hi Experts,
How to test the SAP modules like SD and MM By using Quality Center and QTP. Can you please provide the documentation regarding this.
Regards,
Skumar.

Hi Sampath,
First install QTP and SAP Addin with in QTP.
2nd use QC to develop the test plan and then convert that test plan design to Test Scripts (QTP vesrion using settings)
3rd record the R/3 GUI screen of SAP for SD, MM like Create order or Create PR.
Once recording is done QTP will create a script in VB
SAPGuiSession("Session").SAPGuiWindow("SAP Easy Access - User").SAPGuiOKCode("OKCode").Set "/nVA01"
SAPGuiSession("Session").SAPGuiWindow("SAP Easy Access - User").SendKey ENTER
you can always add a parameter and other customization according to your requirement.
Let me know if you need more information regarding this.
Good Luck!

SAP Solution Manager Adapter for SAP Quality Center by HP (ST-QCA)

Hello Folks,
I am configuring Solution Manager, and the current activity asks to download to add-ons that I can't find in the Marketplace - they are required to activate Solution Manager Enhancements:
SAP Solution Manager Adapter for SAP Quality Center by HP (software component: ST-QCA)
SAP Support Enablement package (software component: ST-SEP)
Does anyone know where to get those components?
Thanks a lot,
Marco

Hi Ravindra babu/ Murali:
I have one very quick doubt and would be really glad if you can help clarify.
As per documentation from SAP and also IMG screens etc. it seems like 'a project' in SolMan will hand-shake with 'a project' in QC.
Can I therefore assume that if there is only one instance of SolMan (productive) and one QC server alone (again, productive), any number of trials I carry out between SolMan project and QC project will not spill over into other projects in these two systems and thus have no impact whatsoever at server level.
The reason for my asking this - in my project, Testing has started using QC in a standalone mode already. We have just one server. If I have to carry out any tests/ demo between SolMan and QC, it shouldn't impact other 'standalone' projects being done in QC.
Regards,
Srini

Hi guyz,
I am new in this SAP field with zero knowledge on it and my first task being assigned to me is to integrate SolMan with HP Quality Center. So how do i start?

Hi
Extended Computer Aided Test Tool (eCATT) to create and execute functional tests for software. The primary aim is the automatic testing of SAP business processes. Each test generates a detailed log that documents the test process and results.
Features
You can:
· Test transactions and reports
· Call BAPIs and function modules
· Test remote systems
· Check authorizations (user profiles)
· Test database updates
· Test the effects of changes to customizing tables
· Test the effect of changes to customizing settings
· Check system messages
Constraints
eCATT runs in a system based on SAP Web Application Server 6.20 or higher. However, you can use this system to test systems with Release 4.6C or higher.

ECatt automatic testing and solman vs. HP quality center?

Hi!
We are planning to implement eCatt automatic testing functionalities as part of current solution manager test plan management tools so that part of test cases in target ERP system would be launced in tester worklist as automatec cases.
How do you see is there any advantages in eCatt if compared to HP Quality Center testing? Advantages and disadvantages of both?

Test Director/ Quality center

Can somebody explain me about test director or quality center.
I am going to prepare test scripts then what should be the next procedure.
What is exact porpose of test scripts.
KInd regards,
Shruti

Hi,
Test case
A test case is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine if a requirement or use case upon an application is partially or fully satisfied. It may take many test cases to determine that a requirement is fully satisfied.
Test cases are often incorrectly referred to as test scripts. Test scripts are lines of code used mainly in automation tools.
Test script
A test script is a short program written in a programming language used to test part of the functionality of a software system. A written set of steps that should be performed automatically can also be called a test script, however this is more correctly called a test case.
Any test that is written as a short program is regarded as an automated test. Test scripts written as a short program can either be written using a special manual functional GUI test tool or in a well-known programming language (such as C++, C#, Tcl, Expect, Java, Perl, Python, or more recently, Ruby). Automated test tools can test many areas of system functionality such as the user interface, performance of the system, the system code and the requirements.
Automated testing has the advantage over manual testing in that it is easily repeatable, and thus is favoured when doing regression testing. This however is not always the case as automated tests may be poorly written and can break during playback. Since most systems are designed with human interaction in mind, it is good practice that a human tests the system at some point.
Test Script defines the actions and pass/fail criteria. For example, if the action is "to enter a valid account number," the expected result is that the data are accepted. Entering an invalid number should yield a particular error message.

Differrence between BPCA and Change Impact Testing in HP Quality Center?

Hi All,
Can some one help us with the differences between change impact analyser in SAP TAO and change impact testing in
HP quality center.
Please share some process documents regarding the same.
Regards,
Ujwal Kandimalla

Hi Ujwal,
The Business Process Change Analyser in Solution Manager compares a technical BOM (TBOM) that is maintained within a solution, or project, against a transport order that is maintained within a managed system. The TBOM is a listing of all technical objects, for example tables, programs etc, that are used by the managed system. BPCA checks the contents of the transport order against the TBOM. BPCA then highlights the objects in the TBOM that will be impacted when you import the transport order into production. From the BPCA you can directly create a Test Plan and select the test cases that will test the objects that will change.
SAP TAO inspects transactions to determine the technical information required to generate an automated test. TAO then creates scripting for HP Quick Test Pro test cases and can create business components in HP Quality Center that can be used to compose business process tests.
HP Change Impact Testing allows you to import changes from the SAP correction and transport system, analyse and identify the impact of changes, assess their risk and recommend which business processes to test.
There are some good presentations about BPCA and TAO and this one could give you the back ground info to the SAP solution: https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000988132011E
Hope this helps,

Rajesh, Hi.
There is a special Mercury solution that requires some professional services assistance but might be able to help you with getting a built-in capability for your eCATT scripts as a new test type in Quality Center. This new test type will give you the ability to:
    - Save a reference to your eCATT scripts in QC (not the entire eCATT test but a link to it on the SAP backend)
    - Run the eCATT script from QC
    - Save a log and the runs' status into QC after an execution of an eCATT script ended
For this to be implemented on your system, you should probably contact Mercury's PSO.
If you like to do it yourself (and this has a lot of work and knowledge involved), you can create your own "home-made" solution using SAP's Standard recording APIs and QualityCenter's VAPI-XP test type to generate a script that will call the SECATT transaction and actually execute it on demand.
Please note that saving the actual eCATT Blob into QC is not really possible since it is ABAP based and has to reside in the R3 system only.
I hope this can help a little.

Testing Payroll with Quality center

Hi Gurus,
Please can someone throw light on how to- testing payroll module using Quality centre. What are the procedures ? how to use Quality centre for SAP ?
Thanks in advance
Jeeva

What do you define as "Quality Centre" ?
Is it the Quality And Testing server (sometimes called QAT) that sits between your Development environment (DEV) and your Production environment (PRD) ?
Is it a Centre of Excellence where configuration is done and where updates (patches) are applied and tested before being applied into PRD ?

the error is in Solution Manager. I am defining the communication parameters in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN / <selected project> / edit / Connection to HP Quality Center. I choose the corresponding project in Quality Center, but when I validate the screen, I get the error I mentioned before, even though the communication user exists in HPQC and is assigned to that specific project.
Thanks for your reply.

BW and HP quality Center Report Error

Hi ,
We have installed BW7.0 and EP 7.0 . Testing are running from Load runner with HP quality center. It is running some time properly and last minute we are getting error.
Basicalley performance testing is we are doing on the sap systems.
Cannot get connection for 60 seconds. Possible reasons: 1) Connections are cached within SystemThread(can be any server service or any code invoked within SystemThread in the SAP J2EE Engine), 2) The pool size of adapter "SAPFactory" is not enough according to the current load of the system or 3) The specified time to wait for connection is not enough according to the pool size and current load of the system. In case 1) the solution is to check for cached connections using the Connector Service list-conns command, in case 2) to increase the size of the pool and in case 3) to increase the time to wait for connection property. In case of application thread, there is an automatic mechanism which detects unclosed connections and unfinished transactions
Can some body help on this??
Regards,

Hi,
Any ways we can get the log of the error to see here.
Also see for replicating the problem couple of times, check the log if its different for different tries please paste all those logs here.
Regards,
Ravi
