Test Case Creation and Validation
...
Debug Log
...
Int4 Suite will provide additional, more technical information in Test Execution Report during the running of the test cases if this parameter is set. Therefore, it is recommended to set this option initially and deactivate it when object definition is confirmed after executing the first test cases
...
Display wait popup before validation
...
Wait Flag indicating if Int4 Suite should stop test case execution after sending test case message to middleware. Int4 Suite will show the confirmation box, and the user will decide to continue. This setting can execute manual follow-up actions before running the next test case or checking the validations.
This setup works only with Execute via SAP GUI option of execution

Number Ranges
...
The number ranges allow generating new values for variables. Those values are used to substitute original document numbers or other values in reference messages.
The number range used to replace the source system document number should always be configured to not overwrite the original number. It means that documents generated by Int4 Suite should have their own subset of the original document number. Usually, it might be a subset of the upper limit of the original number range.
It is essential that automated testing with Int4 Suite consume numbers that the source system will generate during manual testing. Additionally, if testing environment data is refreshed from the production system, more documents would be created in the testing environment. If the Int4 Suite number were configured in the same range, it would start creating duplicates.
For example, the original number range for document numbers from the source system is 560000 - 590000. It would be wise to set the Int4 Suite number range from 590000 to 600000. However, suppose the SAP backend system uses an external number range. It is essential to stay in the original range. In that case, the Int4 Suite number range may be set as 585000-590000, which gives space for 5000 testing documents. Using range from upper interval reduces the risk that the number will be overwritten.
Additionally, the good practice is to use prefixes or suffixes that will quickly separate source system documents and the ones created by Int4 Suite. It should always be used when there is no document number validation by the SAP backend.
Each Object Definition can contain an unlimited number of number ranges. This way, each variable declared in an object can use its specific number range.

Thanks to the anonymizer feature, it's possible to select fields that hold sensitive values and decide what action should be taken to prevent them from being compromised.

Direct endpoint to tested interface (synchronous).
It should be provided without Boomi endpoint & port.
Additionally, if the URL is dynamic (like JSON queries), it is possible to enter the variable name in {} brackets. The value will be substituted before calling the final URL
SOAP Action
The SOAP action if the tested interface is a SOAP Webservice
Boomi: HTTP Destination

QA:BOOMI_QA_ATOM
Parameter name | Description | Example |
Backend system line for reference doc.
This parameter points out the system where the reference backend document is stored. The value should be a system line described in the landscape configuration.
Note:
If Backend system line for the current doc. has the same value as the Backend system line for the reference doc. (for instance, both are S4/HANA) then the RFC connection between the systems will be maintained both in:
a) the original environment of the reference document (for instance, production system)
b) the environment where the current test case execution takes place (for instance, development system)
If Backend system line for the current doc. is different than the Backend system line for the reference doc. then, the RFC connection will be maintained only in the environment of the current execution (for instance, development system), but for both system lines (like ECC and S4HANA)
ECC
SAP_ERP
Backend system line for current doc.
This parameter points out the system line where Int4 Suite should create test documents during test case execution. In most cases, reference documents and documents created during current test execution are stored in the same system line. However, suppose Int4 Suite is used in a migration scenario (for example, migration from ECC to S4/HANA). In that case, the documents might be created in the new system and then compared with the references from the old system.
The value should be a system line described in the landscape configuration.
Note:
If Backend system line for the current doc. has the same value as the Backend system line for the reference doc. (for instance, both are S4/HANA) then the RFC connection between the systems will be maintained both in:
a) the original environment of the reference document (for instance, production system)
b) the environment where the current test case execution takes place (for instance, development system)

The number ranges allow generating new values for variables. Those values are used to substitute original document numbers or other values in reference messages.

It means that documents generated by Int4 Suite should have their own subset of the original document number. Usually, it might be a subset of the upper limit of the original number range.
It is essential that automated testing with Int4 Suite consume numbers that the source system will generate during manual testing. Additionally, if testing environment data is refreshed from the production system, more documents would be created in the testing environment. If the Int4 Suite number were configured in the same range, it would start creating duplicates.
For example, the original number range for document numbers from the source system is 560000 - 590000. It would be wise to set the Int4 Suite number range from 590000 to 600000. However, suppose the SAP backend system uses an external number range. It is essential to stay in the original range. In that case, the Int4 Suite number range may be set as 585000-590000, which gives space for 5000 testing documents. Using range from upper interval reduces the risk that the number will be overwritten.
Additionally, the good practice is to use prefixes or suffixes that will quickly separate source system documents and the ones created by Int4 Suite. It should always be used when there is no document number validation by the SAP backend.
Each Object Definition can contain an unlimited number of number ranges. This way, each variable declared in an object can use its specific number range.
