Solman for testing

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

Just wanted to know from you that if in an implenetation project we have business blueprint made outside solution manager(BBP is not generted using solution manager features) then can we use solmman for such a project in phases of realization onwards. Can we doing the testing of such project through solman when the blueprint has been generated without the aid of solman.

You views will be highly appreciated.

Hi Manish,

You have to have the Business Blueprint structure in SolMan, so that in Configuration transaction, you can hang off Test Case documents against those respective nodes.

Blueprint document generation from SOLAR01 is not a prerequisite, but the structure is.

At least you need some 'high level' folders, if not till Process Step level.

Cheers,

Two other ways would be, as an alternative to developing a formal well structured SOLAR01:

(1) Create a namesake Scenario, a Process under that and a Process step. List all transactions that you are supposed to test against this process step.

While generating Test Plan(s), choose to include Transactions involved in the project, it will include all Transactions you keyed in.

Create Test Packages in ways that suits your needs, into chunks of functionality or modulewise - whatever suits.

(2) Don't even create this name sake structure. Create a Test Plan, and not with reference to Project, but from Application Hierarchy.

It depends on the kind of Test Scripts you have - if they are already developed, it would warrant an alignment with that. If you dont have any word/excel files as Test Scripts, the above two options may as well suit.

Cheers,

Srini
