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, Test paths tab bar. Interactive test path recording is described below.

Changes the recording mode. Change the mode only if the interactive recording does not work properly.
If you select Manually, you need to click each object that you want to transfer to the test structure.
If you select Interactively, recording is automatic. If interactive recording is interrupted at a rule or process interface, you can decide on the subsequent course of the path. To do this, click the relevant model object with a blue outline.

Opens the model to which the selected object is assigned. It describes the object in detail.
If recording is interrupted at a process interface or a related event, you can resume test path recording in the assigned model.
Switches from the current model to the model that is one level of detail higher.
If you continued recording in an assignment and click this button, recording is resumed in the superior model.
Moves the selected test object one position up in the test order.
That is how you change the order of test objects in the test path. This function is available only for interactive and manual recording.
Moves the selected test object one position down in the test order.
That is how you change the order of test objects in the test path. This function is available only for interactive and manual recording.
Ends the current recording and removes all objects from the test structure.
Includes an additional test path in the same model and saves the current one.
Saves the test case including all objects of the test structure and the graphics for the test paths recorded.
Prerequisite
You have created a test project.
Procedure
On the Test Designer options page, select the Include executables option if you want to use executables during test path recording and optionally display them in the Test Designer project.
Open the SAPĀ® Solution Manager test project. The tab of the Test Designer project selected opens.
Click Navigation in the bar panel if the Navigation bar is not activated yet.
Click the test object for which you want to record the test path.
In the Start tab bar, click Select test model. A dialog of the same name opens. Only allowed models that are associated with your
SAPĀ® Solution Manager projects are displayed.
Double-click the model in which you want to start test path recording.
The Test paths tab bar is activated, with the Interactively recording mode selected by default. The model is displayed schematically.
Click the object with which the test path will start. Possible start objects are displayed with a green outline.
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.
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.
Click 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.
Double-click the assigned model, in which you want to record the test path. The model opens.
Click the start object. It now has a green border.
Click the start object again.
Continue recording until the end of the test path is reached.
Click In superior model in the Test paths tab bar. Test path recording is continued in the superior model in which you started
recording.
Continue recording until the end of the test path is reached. The functions in the test path are listed with their model assignment.
If necessary, change the order of the objects (test sequence) in the test structure
by selecting the entries and clicking Up or
Down in the Test paths tab bar.
Click 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.
