CATT in NetWeaver

[Former Member]

I'm working at a client that is contemplating an upgrade from 4.6C to NetWeaver.

There's a rather extensive catalog of testcases in CATT that are used for regression testing.

My question is this:

Is there a CATT (or eCATT) tool in NetWeaver and if yes, how easy is it to convert/upgrade the scripts?

The Web Application Server 6.40 is part of NetWeaver 2004 and it contains CATT and the successor tool eCATT.

Note that it is no longer possible to create new automated CATT test cases in Web AS 6.40 - SAP is gradually phasing out CATT in favor of eCATT.

In eCATT, you can continue to call existing CATT test cases. There is also a migration function that allows you to convert existing CATTs into eCATT tests. If you are a SAP Professional Journal subscriber, you can read about this feature in the September/October 2003 edition.

For more information on eCATT, search "eCATT" on SDN - you'll find last year's TechEd material. Also check out http://service.sap.com/eCATT and the documentation at

Technical questions and discussions on eCATT and other test tools are starting to catch on in the SAPGUI forum.

Well you wouldn't upgrade from R/3 to NetWeaver. You'd probably go from R/3 to Enterprise or ERP 2004.

But to address your question, there is still an ABAP stack in NW04 and yet CATT still exists.
