Define a test path in multiple models (SAP Solution Manager)

If you define test paths based on a complex model, you record individual paths in multiple assignments. The test path consists of several sections each of which is represented by a graphic. You open the individual sections using the start objects. Depending on the model complexity, project type, and current hierarchy level in the project, different buttons are available to you in the Test paths tab bar. Interactive test path recording is described below.

Prerequisite

You have created a test project.

Procedure

  1. On the Test Designer options page, select the Include transactions option if you want to use transactions during test path recording and optionally display them in the Test Designer project.
  2. Open the SAP® Solution Manager test project. The tab of the Test Designer project selected opens.
  3. Click Navigation Navigation in the bar panel if the Navigation bar is not activated yet.
  4. Click the test object for which you want to record the test path.
  5. In the Start tab bar, click Select test model Select test model. A dialog of the same name opens. Only allowed models that are associated with your SAP® Solution Manager projects are displayed.
  6. Double-click the model in which you want to start test path recording.

    The Test paths tab bar is activated, with the Interactively Interactively recording mode selected by default. The model is displayed schematically.

  7. Click the object with which the test path will start. Possible start objects are displayed with a green outline.
  8. Click the start object with the green border again.

    The test path is automatically recorded until you have to make a decision on the subsequent process. All objects in the test path have a red outline. After a rule, the objects for the subsequent process have a blue outline.

  9. Click an object with a blue outline. The test path is completed up to the next position that requires a decision.

    For example, if you click once at an OR rule, the path becomes active (red), the object remains blue. At the second click, OR is excluded.

  10. Click In assignment In assignment in the Test paths tab bar to continue the test path in a process model assigned to a function. The Assigned models dialog opens if more than one model exists.
  11. Double-click the assigned model, in which you want to record the test path. The model opens.
  12. Click the start object. It now has a green border.
  13. Click the start object again.
  14. Continue recording until the end of the test path is reached.
  15. Click In superior model In superior model in the Test paths tab bar. Test path recording is continued in the superior model in which you started recording.
  16. Continue recording until the end of the test path is reached. The functions in the test path are listed with their model assignment.
  17. If necessary, change the order of the objects (test sequence) in the test structure by selecting the entries and clicking Up one level Up or Down Down in the Test paths tab bar.
  18. Click Finish Finish in the Test paths tab bar.

The test path is saved as a graphic and assigned to the test object. All functions in the test path are subordinate to the test object in the defined test sequence.

You can open the recorded path at any time.
