Validate test cases using PI/PO

For many scenarios, the Automation Object and Test Cases created by the Robot will be sufficient to execute testing. Standard validation procedure for Test Cases will provide the reference input to integration platform, capture its output and compare it thoroughly with the reference. If complex mappings, or mappings with external data lookups are applied, this might not be producing the right results.

Once the test cases are created, they need to be validated by running them against the existing Test SAP PI/PO system.

If the test cases created from production landscape cannot be validated on current test environment, Int4 Suite will issue a warning when proceeding to next steps of the migration. Such situation means that there are inconsistencies between test and production, e.g. due to a concurrent developments or projects. Proceeding without being able to validate test cases is NOT RECOMMENDED and WILL GENERATE ISSUES later in the process or worse, after go-live.

To simplify this process step, it’s possible to Run PO Tests from the Migration Cockpit for selected interfaces or from the ICO details, for a specific interface.

Run PO Tests button on the Cockpit screen

Run PO Tests button on the ICO details screen

SAP PI/PO Test cases execution

Clicking on the Run PO Tests button will start a Test Run and will open a new browser tab with the run details.

On this screen, test results are presented, along with a summary. A successful test run is a good sign! If there are errors, clicking on a specific failed test case will help to understand the reasons for test failure.
