SAP Testing Approach - A Quick Overview

SAP is an ERP Package and all the Implementation of SAP require huge amount of configuration Testing documentation Team effort Planning etc.

Its not an easy way to do SAP Testing at all

Testing a simple application in Java/.net is very simple and its effect is also pretty less.

But if we compare SAP Testing Project it comprises of lot of efforts and analysis as any simple bug in one application can have very bad impact on the another and causing a huge business revenue loss.

A Project Manager or basically the owner of SAP Testing Team normally formulates a plan and it mainly comprises of all the resources deadline and mainly the type of testing and testing tools.

There are variety of Testing or different type of Testing like

• Development Testing
• Configuration Testing
• Interface Testing
• Process Testing
• User Acceptance Testing
• Functional Integration Testing
• Cutover Testing

There are plenty of tools for conducting and managing the entire Test plan project for SAP like
SAP Solution Manager
SAP Quality Center

Both tools lead to set of testing tools and can manage huge amount of test scripts with results.

Both are very useful and has advantages and disadvantages over each other and can be integrated too.

In short it is not as simple as it looks and the various forms of testing mentioned above in SAP are more useful if properly documented and in the Test Result Summary Report etc.

Static and Dynamic Web Page

A Static web page is the one where the content is hard coded directly in simple HTML files.

There it needs to be edited if a change is required.Morever if we have a change which needs to be done on multiple pages then it needs to be done on all the pages

Developer or web site creator mainly chooses HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language to create the same.

But

a dynamic web age is where the display logic is maintained separately from the content and content is stored in database instead of HTML

Each page consists of a template which provides look and feel and in addition a code can provide the relevant data from database.It is written with various scripting techniques like an e commerce website (www.ebay.in)

Another example news website where we can see lot of flash sort of thing or a banner or pop coming with latest event happening e.g  www.indiatimes.com

E Commerce- Importance of Web Server

Today the performance of  a Web Server is a very important aspect related to Business.It has become a critical success of many corporations and organizations.

We can do this on Static parameter and dynamic parameter.Static Page mainly based small amount of CGI or common Gateway Interface scripts and more like simple websites having Static web pages.

To understand the difference between static and dynamic pages can check here

But same can't be applied to e-commerce based websites

So if we talk about the Web Server having a e- Commerce based Portal up and running 24/7 then it will be having a huge amount of data flow with multiple scripts running in parallel and linked to many database queries etc. e.g online shopping portal where you can search and it hits results after searching in database and this same search can be fired by multiple customer across the world


Latest surveys for e-commerce says we can do this based upon following points

1. Response Time
Time required for the site to load completely at different ISP speeds.

2 Security and certification
Remember if security is very important aspect and customer wants their transaction to be secure when dealing with Credit card information etc
Thus Implementation of a firewall at the server level is necessary.
SSL are mainly used for Security certificates etc.

3.Concurrent Connections
The number of users the server can handle at the same time.Technical term normally used today is THROUGHPUT.

4.Uptime
The length of time that a webserver can remain connected to the internet without requiring a restart.
Now a days we have servers which require a month for next time to be restarted.

5.Monitoring Tools
Here a third party tools can also be used for the same to monitor the website at regular intervals by monitoring HTTP requests,hardware failure FTP etc.


In order to design a web server with high performance and reliable web server for eCommerce applications the factors must be considered.

E - Commerce Website - A Web Presence

In today world it is not possible to believe a business running without IT or Information Technology help.

We can run any business may be Banking ,Retail , Utilities, Telecom but we definitely need today Computer presence and moreover a new face to business will be created known as website.

Yes you got it right.The days are gone that a person can run a Business without using Computer of course it doesn't means its mandatory to have Computer presence but yes it makes a huge difference.

E.g consider you want to buy some clothes and visited a shop and he gave you a card saying that it has their website mention and you can visit and choose the clothes you like, before coming to their store.

It is great experience!

OR

You would like to transfer some amount to your friend account so you have to goto bank physically and get in the queue,fill the form and then ask the bank officer to do it after waiting hours in queue and investing hours of time etc.

But  Thanks to Internet or Dot com revolution

we have not Bank website and online transfer which we can use to transfer 

either in the same city or country to our friend etc

Yes now time is money and running out and we have mall and big store everywhere but we always have less time and would like to explore more and thus business needs a Web Presence to meet customer needs.

There are various models if we talk about E - Commerce like 

1. Brick and Mortar
2. Click and Portal
3. Click and Brick

We will explore more later but I think now you guys the idea why Web Presence is needed in today's world.

Business Process - Order to Cash

Business Process is very need of a business today and we know there are always certain critical business processes for any business.

When we talk about Business Process it is basically a series of activities and combination of several small activities or tasks.

E.g 

ORDER TO CASH

In a typical order to cash scenario we have 

1. Inquiry by customer followed by
2. Quotation creation  followed by
3. Sales Order Creation  followed by
4. Billing/Invoice generation  followed by
5. Payment

e.g we go to buy a car 

first we do an enquiry about a car model say Maruti 800.

That dealer will provide us the Quotation 

If we  like it we go ahead and ask him to proceed further,now dealer will create a sales order and prepare for billing and delivery and we pay to the dealer.

There are many other activities for the sake of simplicity and understanding not explained here.

Thus above flow tries to explore certain basic concept of what a Business Process is all about.
