The Business Landscape
Country Specific
Instances of SAP
SAP 41
(Main Manufacturing)
SAP 40 - USA
M.C.M.
E-Commerce
SAP 45 – Germany
SHARE
(Oracle Siebel)
Configure
SCON
VB App
SCON: Quotation Generation
application uses complex
algorithm for various product
types; details fetched from
SHARE
The Business Landscape
SAP system maintains all
details of products and
prices
SCON is driven by
complex and detailed logic
for quotations, which has
validation requirements
Diagrams & Literature are
maintained in MCM, which
provides the data to ecommerce website & the
SHARE Siebel system
Siebel system manages
quotations through SCON,
a VB application
The Business Problem
Logic is complex in SCON quotation module
60-70% of the changes impact SCON
Around 200 test cases in SCON, low test coverage per release
cycle
60-75% effort of new releases goes into validation of quotations
Long cycle time for Manual Test Runs of highly business-critical
system
Complete manual regression testing of SCON not achieved
usually

Proposed Solution
Phased approach towards automation
of SCON regression testing
Phase1
Pre-POC
Phase2
POC
Phase3
Project
Understand the
requirements in detail
and develop
automation plan
Develop a proof-ofconcept
demonstrating the
identified test cases
Develop the test
automation framework
and deliver the
complete solution for
regression testing of
SCON

Project Requirements
• Understand the ecosystem involving SAP-MCM-Share-SCON
• Develop understanding of quotation logic using onsite interactions and
documentation
• Identify complete list of test scenarios with priorities
• Validate existing order management system
• Design automation solution for regression tests of SCON
• Deploy data generation for quotation module, which is complex and has
extensive testing cycles
• Handover of automation solution to Siemens with detailed training artefacts
Our Approach: Pre-POC to Project Initiation
Pre-POC (2-3
consultants
working onsite for
3 weeks)
• Study the requirements, environment and identify tests to be automated
• Will cover requirement analysis and designing the approach for POC
• Deliverable: Proposal presented for the POC phase
• Automation solution development of identified POC tests
• Test automation environment set up, and automation approach finalized
• Deliverable: Demonstration of identified paths for automation
Proof Of Concept
(offshore team over
approx. 10 weeks)
Project (offshore
team with onsite
coordinator)
• Implementation of automation for complete set of test cases
• Cost of consulting plus expenses
• Deliverable: complete solution with extensive training videos
