Testing Sap R/3 Systems: Using the Computer Aided Test Tool
Gerhard Oberniedermaier, Marcus Geiss · 2000
From the Publisher: Market demand for high-quality software developed at low prices is continuing to grow. Enterprises want new systems and processes with high productivity and sharply reduced implementation times. R/3 developers face the challenges of developing and implementing new systems on a daily basis. This book provides a detailed and practical guide to the use of CATT, SAP's Computer Aided Test Tool, during the implementation of SAP R/3. CATT is a universally applicable tool which supports and accelerates development, modification, maintenance and upgrading of R/3 systems to allow the testing of customer-specific modifications during development and upgrading of a release. If you are an R/3 consultant or user, or an ABAP programmer you will find solutions to frequently encountered problems, and learn the possibilities available to you in using CATE You will learn how to: automate tests and optimize R/3 business processes use CATT tools effectively in an R/3 implementation, at each stage of the implementation model utilize the CATT tools in tasks such as testing transactions, testing database field values, configuring system tables, checking the effects of system configuration changes, generating test and training data and recording the function and expert mode. The authors draw on their extensive experience in the planning and execution of several successful SAP R/3 implementations and take you step-by-step through: integrating CATT optimally into the traditional SAP procedure model, plus the ASAP and DSDM procedure models understanding the structure of the ABAP Development Workbench, contained in the Basis module of the R/3 system, and usingthe Test Workbench for administering and organizing CATT procedures. Additional features: covers CATT versions 3.1 G and describes new functional features of version 4.0 where applicable case studies covering the implementation of CATT at a customer site, plus performing load testing using Mercury Interactive's LoadRunnerr extensive screenshots explain the essential functions of CATT and help you relate the individual applications to the system.
