Heatmap

Heatmap is a data visualization solution that helps business users understand the usage of the SAP system and answer questions about what to test and where to start testing based on real system data.

Note: The heatmap supports the SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, and SAP EWM systems.

The data is aggregated and summarized to be visually presented in Heatmap via daily, weekly, or monthly overlays. Use heatmap for SAP to determine test relevance and test coverage:

• Test Relevance—the size of the box in the Heatmap displays how relevant the test is for achieving a specific goal. The size of the box answers the question: How often and how heavily is this transaction used?.

  Test relevance is calculated and weighted based on parameters such as: number of users, number of executions, overall execution time, transaction complexity (based on the number of development objects), and the type of transaction intensity that you configure.

  Depending on the source of the SAP data, you can define the default heatmap ratios settings.

• Test Coverage—The colors of the boxes provide a visualization of the execution coverage of a transaction through executed test cases. The colors show the following:
  • Gray: test case doesn't exist or wasn't executed.
  • Red: test case exists, but at least one execution has failed.
  • Green: test case exists, and all executions passed.

These visualizations allow you to quickly understand your SAP health.

Heatmap display

The actual heatmap that is generated using your SAP data offers a two-level view:

1. Application components—containers inside the heatmap that contain all the transactions used inside a specific application component.
2. Transactions—boxes inside the application containers that contain data about a certain transaction or program, such as: name, SAP code, and the percentage of test relevance in the heatmap.

   Yon can zoom in on a selected area of interest and focus only on a specific SAP component or module.

   1. Gray - no test cases were executed or test cases don't exist for this transaction.
   2. Red - test cases exist and one or more executions failed.
   3. Green - test cases exist and all executions passed.
