Role of SAP Consultant in Testing

The role of an SAP consultant in testing is to test various modules and integration between modules to ensure the system is functioning as required. This involves unit testing of individual modules, integration testing across modules, and testing various business processes and scenarios. The document outlines different types of testing like unit testing, integration testing, regression testing, user acceptance testing, and provides examples of how different transactions would be tested at each stage.

Role of SAP Consultant In Testing

1. What is the role of SD Consultant in Testing while implementing the project?


2. What is Unit testing and Integration Testing?
Testing : the core team members along with endusers 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 mathologies 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 seperately 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.
Whrereas 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 signoff.
Performance testing is refered to as how much time / second will take to perform some actions,
like e.g. PGI. If BPP defination says 5 seconds for PGI then it should be 5 and not 6 second.
Usually it is done using software.
Regression testing is reffered to a test which verfies that some new configuration doesnot
adversly 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.
What does the following terms means :
- Technical Unit Testing
- Functional Unit Testing
- IntegrationTesting
- Volume Testing
- Parallel Testing?
Technical Unit Testing= Test of some technical development such as a user exit, custom
program, or interface. the test usually consists of a test data set that is processed according to the
new program. A successful test only proves the developed code works and that it performed the
process as as designed.
Functional Unit Testing= Test of configuration, system settings or a custom development (it may
follow the technical unit testing) These usually use actual data or data that is masked but
essentially the same as a real data set. A successful test shows that the development or
configuration works as designed and the data is accurate as a result.
IntegrationTesting= Testing a process, development or configuration within the context of any
other functions that the process, development or functionality will touch or integrate . The test
should examine all data involved across all modules and any data indirectly affected. A
successful test indicates that the processes work as designed and integrate with other functions
without causing any problems in any integrated areas.
Volume Testing= testing a full data set that is either actual or masked to insure that the entire
volume does cause system problems such as network transmission problems, system resources
issues, or any systemic problem, A successful test indicates that the processes will not slow or
crash the system due to a full data set being utilized.
Parallel Testing= Testing the new system or processes with a complete data set while running the
same processes in the legacy system. A successful test will show identical results when both the
legacy system and new system results are compared.
I would also note that when a new implementation is being done you will want to conduct at
least one cut over test from the old system to the new and you should probably do several.

What kind of testings that are carried out in testing server?


1. Individual Testing ( Individually which we've created)
2. Regressive Testing ( Entire Process)
3. Integration Testing ( Along with other integrated modules)
The 3 types of testing is as follows:1. Unit testing (where an individual process relevant to a SD or MM etc is tested)
2. Integration testing (where a process is tested that cuts across all areas of SAP).
3. Stress testing (where lots of transactions are run to see if the system can handle the data)

Guide for Testing SAP Financial


TESTING
Unit Testing
When you test every single document is called unit testing.
String Testing
One transaction full activity is called string testing . For example Vendor invoice, goods received
and vendor payment.
Integration Testing
It is purely with other modules and we have to check whether the FI testing is working with other
related modules or not.
Regression Testing
Testing for whole database. Bring all the data into another server and do the testing is called
regression.
UAT
When we test any particular document with the user and if it is ok immediately we have to take
the signature on the document, which is signed off and can be forwarded to the immediate boss.
There are some steps to be followed when we go for user acceptance testing.
Transaction Script Writing Expected Results Compare with Actual Results
TPR (Transaction Problem Reporting)
While doing the user acceptance testing if we get any problems then there are some
methodologies to be followed according to the companys policy and normally as a tester we
always need to write on Test Script itself.
Key Features
Understanding the business scenarios
Organization Structure to incorporate the tune of the script.
Preparation of test scripts
Execute and record results to see if it is fine before going to approval.
Make changes to your test script if required.

F.19 Clearing GR/IR Account
F.13 Adjustments GR/IR Account
Using of these above two accounts will help us in clearing the balances and adjustments to those
respective clearing accounts so that the GR/IR account will be zero balance and the balances will
appear in respective reconciliation accounts accordingly the balances will be carried forwarded
to next fiscal year.
GR/IR Clears the following Documents
GL Document
Customer Documents
Vendor Documents
Assignment Field is important in any document (ZUONR), Amount (DMBTR)
Foreign Currency Valuation
Lowest Value Method, If we are in loss then only we will account for it.
GL Accounts which are important in Testing
Enjoy Transaction - FB50
Normal Transaction - FB01
Document Parking - FV50
Post with Clearing - F-04
Incoming Payment - F-06
Outgoing Payment - F-07

Company Code Clearing A/C
(Trial Balance purposes) reversal - (FBUB)
Clearing Account
Partial clearing Invoice - 100 - Open Item
Paid - 70 - Open Item
Balance - 30
In Partial Clearing you can see 100 and 70 are cleared line items and 30 as balance and if it is in
Residual you can only 30 as balance as it creates new line item and you cant see the other
cleared line items.
As no company will use residual clearing as it affects on ageing reports.

We assume that the customer has not paid at the end of the year you doubt whether this
receivable will ever be paid. So you make a transfer posting for the receivables to an account for
individual value adjustments using special GL Indicator E and Transaction Code F-21
