Unit Testing :This part of testing is mostly taken care by the developers based on their defined

Unit Testing rules as per the organizations. This is sometimes done by the skillful white box
testers. The test is done in the development box. This is the testing of interfaces, conversions,
enhancement, reports, work flows and forms(RICEWF) developed primarily with ABAP code.
Testing of development object includes testing for security authorization, data transfer rules,
reconciliations and batch scheduling jobs

Integration Testing: QA testers run these tests to verify that multiple components still function
correctly when integrated. Integration testing often applies real data when tested in the testing
environment and ensures that triggers, reports and workflows all function properly.

Regression Testing: Regression testing occurs whenever new updates are configured, patches
are applied, or new interfaces are added. Out of the various types of testing in SAP, regression
testing confirms that existing functionality within the SAP system still performs as expected.

Performance Testing: It is testing SAP applications to ensure that they will perform well under
expected workload. Performance Testing encompasses load, volume & Stress Testing to
determine system bottlenecks. The aim of this testing is to enhance robustness of SAP
applications and helps deploy systems that can sustain high load forecast, with zero
postproduction performance issues. The testing includes checking business processes that
may cause stress, due to high transaction or batch volumes. It is usually executed using
automated tools & involves collaboration of basis, database, infrastructure and test teams to
monitor test results.

Functional Testing Functional Testing ensures that your implementation of SAP meets your
business requirements. SAP is highly configurable system and could be easily integrated with
in-house applications or third-party tools. Given this varied configuration and complexity
functional testing is a must. SAP Functional testing removes uncertainty over business use
cases and brings quality. It includes review of design documents and creating test artifacts
including test requirements, Test Scenario and test cases. Functional testing is usually done by
the testing team with a background in particular SAP module being tested.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) Once functional, system and Regression Testing is completed,
UAT (User Acceptance Testing) is performed. It ensures that the SAP system is usable for the
end users of the system. The end users independently execute the user acceptance test cases
that includes testing business processes, functions, documentation (operating manuals, cheat
sheets) etc. With UAT users can feel comfortable with the new business environment and can
take full ownership of the system.

Security Testing: This type of SAP testing confirms the integrity and safety of the SAP
application by making sure that only authorized system users can access appropriate data and
execute relevant transactions. Security testing for SAP focuses on high-risk areas within the
system including network security, portal security, product security, operational security,
access control and source code audit.

Portal Testing: Since SAP systems feature multiple portals, depending on organizational
requirements and business processes, it’s essential to carry out tests for the functionality of
each of these portals. Alongside functional unit testing in SAP, QA testers often check the
portals across different browsers and operating systems for further validation.
