analysis of TBOM in Test Management

[Former Member]

Hello experts!

I want to analyse TBOM in Test Management:

My questions:

1. What is show percent (%) in table column: Table Content, user interface?

2. Why the status of table column "Critically per TBOM item" is equal "n.a." in all fields?

Hi

TBOM is used by BPCA or Business Process Change Analyzer functionality of Solution Manager within Test Management.

this is useful during upgrades etc which tells us ike when we upgrade our ECC system which functionalities are getting impacted.

Check this pdf

HI Dmitry,

I tried understanding your question and here is what my know-how on this says:

1. Show % indicates the following:

•   1681 or a total of 18% of the TBoM is made up of Table contents. Out of that 9% of the objects are from the table WEBCUIF.

2. Criticality per TBoM is set as per criticality of the transaction. So if a transaction is a high usage transaction that is set as a Critical or Tier 1 transaction. Any impact to it means re-testing of all test scripts containing that transaction (typically). You can also set criticality based on what content of the TBoM you deem critical? For e.g. Data Dictionary objects being impacted would not bother me much during the upgrade, but table contents would.

I hope I was able to get somewhere with this.

Cheers!
