Create Template Integration in Test Plan

Use

The purpose of this task is to plan the test sessions, after having setup the test scenarios. In every test session you need the project members involved in the corresponding business processes. In the test plan you also must keep in mind that some scenarios need to be run in a sequential way, e.g. before testing the SD invoice handling, you have to test the process in which the relevant SD orders will be created.

The content of this plan addresses the following aspects:

The scope of the test is based on the process design for the common business areas and their common business processes as defined in the Global Business Blueprint. The Template Integration test plan ensures quality, and that everything defined in the Global Business Blueprint is tested. Identify the necessary processes and associated dependencies. Create a timeline outlining tests according to their sequence and dependencies.

Ensure that integration testing is repeatable during rollout by documenting the complete list of test cases. The information should include test name, test attributes and reference master data. Tests could be repeated in the local system by using CATTs, batch inputs or manually.

Procedure

  1. Determine logistics
    Determine what facilities, equipment, setup and provisions are needed to support the template integration test. This includes determining a Test Client, enough desktop PCs and system resources for the template integration test. Arrange system backup. Set up data entry authorization. Reserve a room for template integration testing. Prepare an introduction for testing personnel on the objective and process of the integration test. Identify an issue reporting method. Ensure the availability of a Technical Consultant for the template integration test.
  2. Assemble Template Integration Test Plan.
    The Template Integration Test Plan is the document that brings together all test plans and activities. It relates directly to the Test Scenarios and Test Cases as entered into the Solution Manager. The sections that comprise the Template Integration Test Plan are complete. This step assembles the sections into one document.
    The order of the Template Integration Test Plan must be:
  1. Develop Template Integration test procedures.
    For each Test Case defined, write a Template Integration test procedure. The Template Integration test procedure provides the testing details and instructions for performing the test. A sample test procedure and instructions are provided as links to this task.

Result

Template Integration Test Plan

In the Global Template Rollout project, it is important that all concerned parties understand the Customizing and testing approach as introduced in the task Create Configuration Plan for Global Template. Thus, it is highly recommended that you include the members of the local projects during the template integration test. Involving them eliminates the risk of duplicated effort in the local project site and also the difficulty in estimating the scale of the template rollout project at the local sites.
