eCATT Testing Queries

Former Member — Mon, 15 May 2006 08:58:33 GMT

Hello All,

I have few queries regarding testing by eCATT as follows -

1. Can eCATT test SRM or CRM system over browser. If so how to use eCATT for testing these systems over Internet browser.

2. How to do load testing via eCATT. Kindly give detail information regarding this.

3. How to do Data Upload using SCAT transaction. How efficient is using SCAT for this purpose comparative to BDC or LSMW or writing custom programs using BAPIs.

Kindly help in sorting out above queries.

Thanks & Regards

1. eCATT cannot test in the browser - you would need to use manual tests or a test tool from another vendor. QuickTest Professional (Mercury), TestPartner (Compuware) and Silk Performer (Segue) are certified for use with eCATT, which means that you can upload scripts from these products into the eCATT environment and call them from other eCATT sritps.

2. There is no framework that allows you to run load tests using eCATT. The biggest problem you would encounter in this area is the restriction on the number of GUI sessions that can be open on a single desktop.

3. Data upload with SCAT is not possible from Web AS 6.40 onwards, because it is not possible to create new CATT test cases. You can use eCATT to record transactions using TCD (same technique as SCAT) or using BAPIs.

<b>If you are using 6.20</b>, SCAT is relatively efficient because you can record the transaction instead of having to learn the structure of a BAPI interface or IDOC.

Thanks Jonathan. I have some more queries depending on the answers as follows -

1. If I use a third party tool for automation then it is mentioned that I can upload these automated scripts in eCATT. How to achieve this?

Again, how to call these scripts from other eCATT scripts.

Kindly forward any website if exits, which helps in doing this.

2. It was mentioned on the front page of SAP 4.7 Desktop help (Complied HTML File) that load testing could be performed by eCATT. So I was looking for this option in the tool.

3. I have WAS 6.20, so I can go ahead with SCAT for data upload activity. Kindly help in details of the same or any website link will also do.

Kindly help in sorting out above queries.

Thanks & Regards
