(v1) Int4 Suite BTP Cloud Connectivity (old)

Int4 Suite, as a test tool, requires connectivity to systems under test to perform test execution and result validation.
A basic concept related to connectivity to external system is called Environments, that maps logically the systems under test and the means to connect to them.
Each Environment represents a portion of the IT system landscape, usually divided into the common environments in an IT landscape, like Sandbox, Development, QA, Regression, Production. Because the Environment specifies both the systems under tests and the connectivity details, the definition of the Environments might be more complex.
Consider a scenario where various authorization testing is needed. In this scenario, the API Management testing must be done on regression system with both Basic and OAuth authentication. Because Environments map to a specific connectivity settings, for such scenario, two Environments need to be configured for executing the test cases.
REG_OA for OAuth authentication testing
REG_BA for Basic authentication testing
Visual example of Int4 Suite Environments configuration
Below picture shows the elements of a landscape configuration on the high level. Having this understanding is a prerequisite for connectivity configuration.
Technical linkage between the systems and the Int4 Suite Environments
SAP BTP solution provides dedicated means for defining and using connections to external systems. Int4 Suite, as a BTP application, builds on top of this, allowing for standardized definition of system connections and re-usability of connections for different purposes.
Two configuration objects need to be created.
Connected System - defining the connection to external system
Communication Arrangement - linkage between the connected system and Int4 Suite Environment
