SAP Testing is same as manual testing but here the applications are SAP R/3 and
Enterprise portal. Whenever there is change in R/3 and Portal and You need to design
test cases according the change request and test the application.
If you have knowledge in the module (like HR, CRM, SD, SRM), which you are going
to test would be helpful to you.

UAT means USER ACCEPTING TESTING. Suppose end user raised an issues that
we solved and send to end used it is working fine. then we get confirmation from him
that it is fine. that is call UAT.

UNIT TESTING - This is done by developer and anyone who did any customizing or
any code to ensure what they did is working properly
INTEGRATION testing - Done by tester by developing some scenarios which are most
unlikely and get the result to ensure the integration is correct
Apart from that, regression testing, functional testing and other cross functional testing
are there done by testers
In realization phase, unit testing are done by developers
After unit testing, Integration testing and other testing are done by testers/functional
depending upon the object to test.
Testing usually follows two paths. Firstly, System Integration Testing (SIT) which is
performed by the SAP team in the development client, and secondly User Acceptance
Testing (UAT) which is performed in the QA client after transport from the development
client. UAT is performed by end users or the testing team.
Unit Tests are defined and performed by developers. A process consists usually of
several functions. Each of this function usually consists of "sub-functions"
corresponding to a single method or a group of methods (if you are developing
OO-based).
Unit Tests could be described as white-box tests whereas a normal tester (which
should be not identical to the developer) will test entire functions (black-box tests).
--- During the entire life cycle of a SAP solution, it is necessary to test the functions
and performance of your solution. With the SAP Test Workbench, SAP provides you
with an environment for all test phases, which you can use for testing in the following
cases:
Implementation of SAP solutions
Integration of new components and business scenarios
Customer developments
Function tests

The customers so far have gone through the version upgrades, consolidations, and
moving towards gobal template and therefore rollouts. So, its now the investment is
test management and automation tools such as HPQC, HPQTP, SAP TAO, eCATT all
integarted to Solman and ECC which is want the RFP's ask for.
The bottomline is, when a test script cuts across several modules, today, it connects
with a combination of the above tools and components of HP and SAP.
Thats the direction SAP Testing is going........so the question is what experiance do
you have wrt the above tool combinations?

I have read all the above comments and for the benefit of wider community. Sharing
experience as many want to learn SAP TESTING. Kindly check your training provider
(institute or individual) if they have sufficient knowledge in SAP testing tools and can
demonstrate the tool usage practically and send tutorial materials. Institute like
Mind-Q or Qedge in hyderabad and also Mr. Tarakesh who takes online and
classroom based testing under the name of saptesting guru. They are known to
charge high but do not deliver as promised and do not cover testing though in demo
class you are promised all goodies.
