System Test Plans

 

Purpose

 

The purpose of this deliverable is to document plans for testing the complete solution environment. The test plans involve both technical and functional tests. For the functional tests, close coordination with the functional teams is needed.  Further, the business process tests contain tasks for technical teams, in the following areas:

 

·         Performance

·         Business process run time

·         Time window restraints

·         Throughput of business processes

 

For technical tests, plan to test the technical infrastructure for failures, disaster recovery, and simulation of system administration procedures.  The testing project team should be included in the test planning.

 

How should it be produced

 

The following test plans are required to be documented for testing the complete solution environment.

 

·         The failure test plan, documenting plans to test the failure scenarios of technical components that can cause all or part of the SAP solution to fail.

·         The volume test plan, documenting plans to test the required throughput and performance of critical transactions and business processes.

·         The stress test plan, documenting plans to accurately test the expected production business transactions and volume.

·         The system administration test plan, documenting plans to test all the system administration procedures and tasks.

·         The printing and faxing test plan, documenting plans to test all the SAP printers, faxes and the output of forms.

·         The disaster recovery test plan, documenting plans to define and test the disaster recovery procedures

·         The Regression Test Plan, documenting strategies which detail repetitive procedures that test core functionality and mission critical processes for the entire project and its objectives. This regression test plan will be used as necessary to ensure that those core system processes their retain original functionality.

·         The backup and restore test plan, documenting   the procedures for backup, recovery and restore of the SAP system.

·         The connectivity test plan, documenting plans to ensure all of the technical components of the solution can connect to one another as required in the technical design.

 

What if it is not done

 

This is an important deliverable and all the test plans have to be documented.  This deliverable is important and implementing it will steer the project to a successful go-live
