    These slides address an integrated test management solution for business process models of ERP blueprints. Based upon existing process models test cases are automatically generated for the subsequent use in test tools or for manual testing. The BPM-X integration middleware is able to build a very flexible landscape for the interoperability of BPM/ BPA and test tools. Such operations cover the import of business process models of (employing methods like EPC, BPMN), the internal transformation into BPMN and the export into a specific test tool. The concept of business-focused testing ensures the completeness of the test case coverage and so improves the quality of ERP-supported business processes. With this approach isolated functional testing, incomplete coverage of the business logic, disregarded technical interfaces in the process flow and weakly tested end-to-end scenarios belong to the past. The most important benefits of integrated model-based testing are the automatic generation of test cases, a complete test coverage and in the end a better process quality.

    Why model-based testing? Costs


    Manual test case creation high project efforts Traditional design of test-cases blocks qualified and costly team members Insufficient integration testing low production efficiency & high maintenance costs

    Risks
    Not all test cases are captured incomplete test cases impact on production environment Untested scenarios & technical interfaces failures in productive processes Untested changes of risk-related processes (e.g. SOX) critical consequences

    Quality
    Bad test coverage low software quality high business impact Incomplete matching of the test data increases negative impact Insufficient reviews of work products & deliverables negative impact is increased

    Demo: generated test cases in Visio format


    For the test case generation the coverage algorithm has been set to branch coverage, i.e. each business activity and decision is taken into account. From the sample process model, these Visio-based test cases have been automatically generated:

    www.bpm-x.com

    Demo: generated test cases in Excel format


    Again, the test case coverage algorithm has been set to branch coverage. The test cases may either go into different worksheets of a single Excel file or into separate Excel files. From the sample process model, these Excel-based test cases have been automatically generated:

    Demo: upload test cases into SAP Solution Manager


    The automatically generated Excel-based test cases may easily be uploaded into SAP Solution Manager:

    Value proposition for model-based testing


    Reuse business knowledge to improve test quality and reduce QA costs

    Reuse existing business process models not dependent upon the BPM/BPA tool or modeling language used
    Option to select different test case coverage algorithms: statement, branch, path,

    Create deliverables as end-to-end models Excel files and BPMN/XPDL models
