SAP eCATT Step by Step Guide

I would discuss the basic concepts regarding eCATT and how to develop a test script and
test configuration to upload a test data file with a practical example.

What is eCATT?
eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) is an SAP Testing Tool used to automate & test
business scenarios in SAP ECC 6.0 & above. It was available in previous version of SAP but it
is slightly different than SAP ECC 6.0 and above. Each test that was executed will generate a
detailed log that will give the test process and results. If the testing is successful without any
errors log, we can say that the business scenario mapped in SAP is correct. If the test results
show error, then the problem can be analysed using the error log that is generated by the
system.

So, in short in this topic you will see what eCATT is, how we can use it; how we can load a
test data from a file in ECC 6.0 with an example. It can be use for master data or large
amount of transaction data.

After reading this topic, you will have understanding about eCATT tool. And you will be able
to create a test script and test configuration in which test data can be loaded from a file.

By using split screen now, you can navigate through various screens you are recorded and
replace the fixed values with variables.

This is done by opening the Dynpro menu and going through each numbered screen to review
your input. You will find the parameters here which are used while recording the GL. You will
have to update the Recorded value with new values. For Example, GL account “400139” is
ZGLACCOUT.
