Testing SAP R/3
A Manager’s Step-by-Step Guide
Автор: JOSE FAJARDO, ELFRIEDE DUSTIN
Год издания:
Planning, preparing, scheduling, and executing SAP test cycles is a
time-consuming and resource-intensive endeavor that requires participation
from several project members. SAP projects are prone to
have informal, ad-hoc test approaches that decrease the stability of
the production environment and tend to increase the cost of ownership
for the SAP system. Many SAP project and test managers cannot
provide answers for questions such as how many requirements have
testing coverage, the exit criteria for a test phase, the audit trails for
test results, the dependencies and correct sequence for executing test
cases, or the cost figures for a previously executed test cycle. Fortunately,
through established testing techniques predicated on guidelines
and methodologies (i.e., ASAP SAP Roadmap methodology,
IBM’s Ascendant methodology, and Deloitte’s ThreadManager
methodology), enforcement of standards, application of objective
testing criteria, test case automation, implementation of a requirements
traceability matrix (RTM), and independent testing and formation
of centralized test teams, many of the testing risks that plague
existing or initial SAP programs can be significantly reduced.
This book is written for SAP managers, SAP consultants, SAP
testers, and team leaders who are tasked with supporting, managing,
implementing, and monitoring testing activities related to test planning,
test design, test automation, test tool management, execution of
test cases, reporting of test results, test outsourcing, planning a budget
for testing activities, enforcing testing standards, and resolving
defects.
