SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization supports SAP customers in
accelerating the creation of automated test cases for SAP solutions.
This acceleration is achieved by automatically creating test components for selected SAP transactions.
These test components will then be automatically uploaded into the
SAP Quality Center by HP application. These draft test cases are for
single transactions, which can then be consolidated into a scenario test
case.
SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization also supports maintenance of
components and test cases by integration into SAP Solution Manager’s
Business Process Change Analyzer.
SAP Testing Acceleration and Optimization:
SAP TAO reduces testing efforts and helps to assemble test cases in a simple drag and drop activity.
SAP TAO has a different component for every single activity used
during testing, such as “Click on Save Button” or “Launch and Log In”.
Each component has its own code that refers to a Function Library and
calls the proper function to be executed and handle the application
under test with the provided parameters for the execution. Also SAP TAO
has connectivity with HP Testing Tools such as HP Quick Test
Professional, HP Quality Center or HP Application Lifecycle Management
(HP ALM).
What can be tested using SAP TAO 3.0?
The Runtime Library delivered with SAP TAO 3.0 supports two different UI Technologies:
SAP GUI
SAP CRM Web UI
Features and Enhancements:
PFA (Design)
The PFA (Process Flow Analyzer) is one of the main features of SAP
Test Acceleration and Optimization. It records a business scenario by
collecting all events thrown by the SAP GUI application and then
generates the corresponding test in SAP Quality Center by HP.
The resulting test is built by aggregating the Default Components.
Some components correspond to global actions (launch an application, for
example), some to the recorded user interaction.
The enhancements in the current version of SAP TAO 3.0 allow you to work in SAP NetWeaver web interfaces.
Object Spy (Design)
The Object Spy is a tool that provides detailed information about the UI elements displayed by the application being tested.
This tool is typically used to retrieve the information identifying
the UI elements. Starting with SAP TAO 3.0 the Object Spy supports two
different application types:
SAP Applications – based on the SAP GUI Technology
CRM Applications – web pages generated by the WebCUIF Framework
Components
SAP TAO 3.0 now integrates useful SAP Web components which save time and effort during the script building process.
One Quick question whether TAO2 script will be supported by TAO3?
ReplyDeleteSAP TAO is just an interface to simplify the use of QTP/UFT to record SAP automated BPT scripts and tranfer them to QC/ALM. It is QTP/UFT the engine that executes the script on SAP from QC/ALM. In other words, it doesn't matter if you recorded it with TAO 1.x, TAO 2.x or TAO 3.x. What changes from each version is the library of BPT components and the tools included with the TAO Interface.
DeleteWhy Not ..? SAP TAO 3 should support SAP TAO2 scripts ...
ReplyDeleteHi all, i tried to install sap Tao 3.0, in connections tab i am getting a rfc connection error. Please suggest.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply , please send me screenshot to my mail automationtesting.sap@gmail.com so that I can find out the solution as soon as possible .
ReplyDeletePlease read below mentioned point if it may helpful to you,
Existence of Trusted RFC connection
A trusted RFC connection must be available in both directions between the SAP Solution Manager and the Managed Systems for TBOM Creation. This helps in switching on/off the traces which are required for this purpose.
In order to verify the existence of an appropriate trusted RFC connection, process transaction SM59
In the logon tab the setting should be set to the current user, so any user given in SAP TAO for SAP Solution Manager connection is valid.
Confirm that this connection is working by clicking on the "Remove Logon" from the Solution Manager system to the Satellite system. Subsequently, execute the “Remote Logon” in order to log on to the corresponding Managed System. From Managed system, also try to logon to SAP Solution Manager using this trusted RFC connection.
