Various Types of SAP Testing

Testing : the core team members along with end users will test whether the postings done in SAP is resulting as per the requirements of the organisation.  They will test whether the output documents such as purchase order, invoice document are printed in the required format and showing the correct data. 

Unit testing is refer to the module which are going to implement. SD, MM, FICO etc. there will be test script based on that testing will be performed. 

Integration testing will be cross the modules. MM-SD-FICO for example.  Integration testing is also called SIT ( System integration testing) 

Testing methodologies and types: there are 6 types of testings: 
1. Unit Testing 
2. System Testing 
3. System Integration security Testing 
4. Performance Testing 
5. User Acceptance testing 
6. Regression Testing 

Unit testing is done in bit and pieces. Like e.g. in SD standard order cycle; we do have 1-create order, then 2-delivery, then 3-transfer order, then 4-PGI and then 5-Invoice.  So we will be testing 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 separately alone one by one using test cases and test data. We will not be looking and checking/testing any integration between order and delivery; delivery and TO; TO and PGI and then invoice. 

Whereas System testing you will be testing the full cycle with it's integration, and you will be testing using test cases which give a full cyclic test from order to invoice. 

Security testing you will be testing different roles and functionalities and will check and sign off. 

Performance testing is refered to as how much time / second will take to perform some actions, like e.g. PGI.  If BPP definition says 5 seconds for PGI then it should be 5 and not 6 second.  Usually it is done using software. 

Regression testing is referred to a test which verifies that some new configuration does not adversely impact existing functionality.  This will be done on each phase of testing. 

User Acceptance Testing:  Refers to Customer testing. The UAT will be performed through the execution of predefined business scenarios, which combine various business processes. The user test model is comprised of a sub-set of system integration test cases. 

We use different software during testing. Most commonly use are 
Test Director:  which is used to record requirement, preparing test plan and then recording the progress.  We will be incorporating defects that are coming during these testings using different test cases. 

Mercury Load Runner:  is used for performance testing.  This is an automatic tool.
