SAP Cloud ALM

Integrate your SAP Cloud ALM projects to Test Manager to create test projects, test cases, execute tests, and view detailed execution information. The integration helps you manage and execute automated tests in your SAP Cloud ALM instance through Test Manager.

You can integrate SAP Cloud ALM with UiPath Test Suite, and leverage the test automation and test management capabilities offered by UiPath Studio and Test Manager.

Supported testing scenarios

When you integrate SAP Cloud ALM with Test Manager you can perform the following testing activities:

• Test case creation:
  • Create automated test cases in SAP Cloud ALM, for which you can later assign Studio automations inside Test Manager.
  • Create automated test cases in Test Manager that synchronize with your target SAP Cloud ALM project.
• Test case execution:
  • Execute automated test cases within Test Manager through the SAP Cloud ALM interface.
    Note: When you trigger an execution from SAP Cloud ALM, you must assign a default Orchestrator folder to the project created through SAP Cloud ALM.
  • Execute automated test cases within Test Manager independently from the SAP Cloud ALM interface.
• Test case reporting
  • Navigate from SAP Cloud ALM directly to the test execution view in Test Manager for detailed information.

These configurations ensure that the SAP Cloud ALM and Test Manager systems can communicate and synchronize.

Working with SAP Cloud ALM and Test Manager

After you integrate SAP Cloud ALM with Test Manager, you can perform testing operations, such as creating test cases, executing them, and viewing the execution reports. The following sections demonstrate the end-to-end process of the integration.

Erstellen von Testfällen

The SAP Cloud ALM and Test Manager integration applies only to automated test cases.

Überblick

When you create an automated test case, SAP Cloud ALM simultaneously creates a new project in your connected Test Manager instance. The name of the project is the same as the one in SAP Cloud ALM, as well as a unique ID at the end. The project also includes the new test case that you created. When you decide to create further test cases using identical configurations to your initial test case, SAP Cloud ALM creates a new test case within your previously generated project.

Test cases created in both SAP Cloud ALM and Test Manager, are created within a specific context. The SAP Cloud ALM context is stored in the following custom fields from the Test Manager project: SAP Country/Region, SAP Scope, and SAP Solution Process. These parameters establish the proper mapping and context between test cases in SAP Cloud ALM and Test Manager.

Creating an automated test case in SAP Cloud ALM

To trigger the creation of an automated test case in Test Manager directly from SAP Cloud ALM, perform the following steps:

1. Go to SAP Cloud ALM and from the Project dropdown list, select an existent project or create a dedicated one, used to integrate with Test Manager.
2. Go to the Test Preparation app.
3. In the Test Cases section, select Create a Test Case. Configure the test case as follows:
   1. Type: Select Automated.

      The integration helps with creating, managing, and executing automated test cases for your business solutions in SAP Cloud ALM.

   2. Automation Provider: Select the UiPath Test Suite endpoint from the dropdown list.
   3. Title: Enter a title that is unique for the desired scope.
   4. Scope: Select a scope.

      This value is present in Test Manager as the SAP Scope custom field.

   5. Solution Process: Optionally, select a solution process.

      This value is present in Test Manager as the SAP Solution Process custom field.

   6. Country/Region: If you selected a solution process, then you have to select a desired country or region.

      This value is present in Test Manager as the SAP Country/Region custom field.

4. Select Save to confirm the test case creation.
