New project form

  • Prefix *: Give it a prefix of at least 3 characters
  • Description *: Give it a short description

Once created the following project summary will be displayed:

Test suite menu tabs

  • Dashboard : this tab will provide an overview of the projects based on a period.
  • Test cases : This will contain all the test cases
  • Test sets: This will contain the list of data sets for each test cases
  • Test results: This will contain all the results for your test cases.
  • Project settings: This is where your setup your project such as the integration / access as well as the custom fields definition.

SAP integration

Once the testing project is created let’s focus on the SAP connection in order to generate the Heatmap. Let’s go through each method for generating the Heatmap.

SAP instance connection

To connect the SAP instance let’s start off by opening the project in test manager and navigate to the projects setting. In the settings tab open the “Integration” tab. This will display all the connectors that UiPath test suite offers:
Integration

Let’s click on the SAP connector, and the connectors form will be displayed as such:

Let’s start of by fill in the projects name and description, then we’re going to choose the connect to a SAP instance. This will require you to fill in the SAP instance details:

  • Polling Interval: Time interval when data is brought from the SAP system. The minimum value for this is one hour.

Once all the details are filled in, save it and refresh the page and the Heatmap will be displayed.

SAP .csv import

Using the same steps as connecting an instance to SAP, but this time we’ll tick the “Upload from CSV” radio button:
SAP Heatmap csv form

This step will require you to upload an extraction from you’re SAP system in a csv format, in order to get that CSV we’ll have to follow the following steps:

  • Go to SAP and execute transaction sa38.

    • You land on the ABAP: Program Execution page, where Z_UiPath_CUST_HEATMAP_DOWNLOAD is typed in Program.

  • Run the program Z_UiPath_CUST_HEATMAP_DOWNLOAD.

  • Select the proper tab to generate and download a CSV file from one day, one week, or one month.

  • Once uploaded refresh the page and the Heatmap tab will be displayed.

UiPath SAP Heatmap

Once the tab is displayed let’s open it and have a look at what has been generated:

  • 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.

  • Gray: no test cases were executed or test cases don’t exist for this transaction.
  • Red: test cases exist and one or more executions failed.
