Order to Cash Cycle -Flow

A customer orders some items from your company by creating a sales order (Tcodes: VA01, VA02, VA03, Tables: VBAK, VBAP etc).

Your company decides to deliver the items ordered by the customer. This is recorded by creating a outbound delivery document (TCodes:VL01N, VL02N, VL03N, Tables: LIKP, LIPS etc).

Once the items are available for sending to the customer, you post goods issue which reduces your inventory and puts the delivery in transit. This will create a material document. You will post goods issue using VL02N but the material document created will be stored in tables MKPF, MSEG.

You will then create shipment document to actually ship the items. (Tcodes: VT01N, VT02N, VT03N, Tables: VTTK, VTTP etc).

You finally create a sales billing document. (TCodes: VF01, VF02, VF03, Tables: VBRK, VBRP etc). This will have a corresponding accounting document created that will be in BKPF, BSEG tables.

When customer pays to your invoice, it will directly hit your AR account in FI.

You will have to remember that these are not a required sequence. Some times, you may configure your system to create a SD invoice as soon as you create a sales order or you may not create a shipping document at all. This is the position where Functional Consultant would come into picture and study the company's order to cash process and configure the SAP system to do so.

• Self-contained test cases for easier test management
• Function / Methods Library development for high reusability
• Reduce needed skills with task segregation
• Business Process Experts – Test Case Level
• Test Component Developers – Test Component Level

Best Practices

• Reusable Components – Encapsulated steps that can be reused
• Component Granularity – The right size of the component. Should it be a screen, form, header, tab, etc?
• Data-Driven Component – Components that can accept different input data
• Function Libraries – Visual Basic Libraries containing reusable functions and methods
• Business Component – A keyword driven component 
• Scripted Component – A event driven component with the flexibility write coded and logic
• Business Flows – A collection of several components that represent a specific flow of events

• Naming Convention Standards – Standards for coding, parameters, messages and error handling
• Advance Error Handling – The ability to handle known and unknown errors to provide real unattended execution
• Automation Team- Dedicated team for automation

Data-Driven

An Automated Test Script should process a transaction flow based on the input test data

• Reduce maintenance by separating the test from the data
• Execute several transaction flow scenarios by feeding data to the same test case
• One Test Case satisfies multiple transaction flows

Test Data Management

A successful Test Automation needs a well organized test data management process

• An Efficient Test Data Management process benefits manual and automated testing
• Test Data needs to be included in the test automation design and architecture (Data Baselining)
• Invalid Test Data accounts for more than 70% failures in automated testing runs (GIGO effect)
• Obtaining and/or creating test data can take between 20% to 50% of the testing effort

Conclusion

SAP Testing Phases:

SAP Unit Testing: addresses the informal testing of individual FRICE Objects (Forms, Reports, Interfaces and Conversions & Enhancements) rather than a complete system or with integrated business processes.

SAP Integration Testing: Integration is the satisfactory execution of processes, rather than individual transactions, in concert to ensure that the SAP software functions properly, system configuration tables are set up properly, programs execute properly, and system outputs are reliable.

SAP Regression Testing: Regression Testing is designed to verify functionality previously released into the “Production” SAP environment, will not be negatively affected by new/modified/upgraded functionality in an effort to protect existing Business Critical functionality running in the production environment from inadvertent outages and the inherent business losses ($ Lost) as a result of potential SAP Production outages/issues.

SAP Performance Testing: Performance Testing validates that the software, hardware and network infrastructures are in place and operating at efficient levels. This testing is required to adequately stress the SAP and related Non-SAP systems in a network environment, inclusive of remote sites/nodes. Performance testing will also include testing of those business processes that would cause stress due to high transaction or batch volumes. Performance Test results will be evaluated to ensure that the SAP and related Non-SAP systems performance complies with predefined service level agreements.

SAP User Acceptance Testing: Confirm the test cases needed to run using the acceptance test environment; Ensure the acceptance tests are suitable for management, users of the system and computer operations; so only one set of acceptance tests are needed; and Execute the User Acceptance Test.

HP QUICK TEST PROFESSIONAL 9.5

Features Provided with QTP 8.2 and QTP 9.2

Mercury Screen Recorder :

Capture your entire run session in a movie clip or capture only the segments with errors, and then view your movie from the Test Results window.

Object Repository Manager:

You can use the Object Repository Manager to manage all of the shared object repositories in your organization from one, central location. This includes adding and defining objects, modifying objects and their descriptions, parameterizing test object property values, maintaining and organizing repositories, and importing and exporting repositories in XML format.

You can open multiple object repositories at the same time. Each object repository opens in its own resizable document window. This enables you to compare the content of the repositories, to copy or move objects from one object repository to another.

Object Repository Merge Tool:

You can use the Object Repository Merge Tool to merge the objects from two shared object repositories into a single shared object repository. You can also use the Object Repository Merge Tool to merge objects from the local object repository of one or more actions or components into a shared object repository.

When you merge objects from two source object repositories, the content is copied to a new, target object repository, ensuring that the information in the source repositories remains unchanged.

If any conflicts occur during the merge, for example, if two objects have the same name and test object class, but different test object descriptions, the relevant objects are highlighted in the source repositories, and the Resolution Options pane details the conflict and possible resolutions.

Multiple Object Repositories per Action or Component:

QuickTest provides several options for storing and accessing test objects. You can store the test objects for each action or component in its corresponding local object repository, which is unique for each action and component. You can also store test objects in one or more shared object repositories that can be used in multiple actions and components. Alternatively, you can use a combination of objects from the local object repository and one or more shared object repositories. You choose the combination that matches your testing needs.

XML Object Repository Format:

QuickTest now enables you to import and export object repositories from and to XML format. This enables you to modify object repositories using the XML editor of your choice and then import them back into QuickTest. You can import and export files either from and to the file system or a Quality Center project (if QuickTest is connected to Quality Center).

Function Library Editor:

QuickTest now has a built-in function library editor, which enables you to create and edit function libraries containing VBScript functions, subroutines, modules, and so forth, and then call their functions from your test or component.

Handling Missing Actions and Resources:

Whenever a testing document (test, component, or application area) contains a resource that cannot be found, QuickTest opens the Missing Resources pane and lists the missing resource(s). For example, a test may contain an action or a call to an action that cannot be found; a testing document may use a shared object repository that cannot be found; or a testing document may use a object repository parameter that does not have a default value. In all of these cases, QuickTest indicates this in the Missing Resources pane, enabling you to map a missing resource to an existing one, or remove it from the testing document, as required.

Enhancements in QTP 9.5

Environment Support:

QTP 9.5 supports MS Vista 64 bit edition also, in comparison to QTP 9.2's support for 32 bit edition only.

QTP IDE:

A refreshing enhancement in QTP IDE GUI I liked this time was the introduction of the ability to see functions related to current tests. Whether you have an external file containing functions or they are inside a reusable actions, you would be able to see all of them at one place. Now no need to dig and scroll through the endless list of functions in your notepad

Bitmap checkpoint: 

Earlier using bitmap checkpoint was a pain in a sense that a minor change in pixel and your test would fail. To increase the tolerance we have to go inside windows registry and change the required tolerance value. With QTP 9.5 HP has introduced support for tolerance level direct from the GUI. You can define tolerance in terms of RGB and/or pixels.

Web Add-in Extensibility: 

Using this feature you can configure and extend the support to those 3rd party custom web controls ( and new technologies like AJAX) which were not supported with the earlier versions. You need to possess fair amount of JavaScript knowledge to handle this. How much help this feature really provide is yet to be seen
