Technical Upgrade & Testing

[Former Member]

We are doing technical upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.

After we are through with the SPDD and SPAU modificaitons in the development environment, do we need to Functional Unit Test (by unit test, I mean complete fucntionality test) in there for all the objects in these SPAU and SPDD lists?

Or is there any other way I can get all the programs tested. I am asking cause we have about 3000 objects in the SPAU list and we need to work on the modifications within a span of 3-4 weeks only!

Any help is appreciated.

Hello Anand,

When upgrading from 4.6c to ECC 6 I would recommend complete functional unit test for all your company's business processes. This should include some kind of regression testing to ensure that existing functionality still works as well as the functionality that may have changed as indicated by the objects on the SPAU and SPDD lists.

Having said that I understand the reality of a short implementaion time. You may need to narrow your testing focus to just critical business processes. Or you could use SPAU to identify where major changes have occured. Either way this is not a support pack but a major upgrade and testing will be extensve.

I know that this is not a great help. Hope the upgrade goes well.
