Tosca Test Repository search methods
The Search Test Repository action may be configured to search a Tosca Test Repository in several different ways, depending upon where tests that match values in the action’s Source table are expected to be found.
The type of search performed for Tosca Test Repositories by the Search Test Repository action is determined by each Test Repository‘s Search Methods settings. These are shown when a Tosca Test Repository is created or edited from the Guided Configuration - Test Repositories screen, or when a Tosca Test Repository is created or edited in the LiveCompare studio.
No selections
If no selections are made in the Test Repository screen‘s Search Methods section, the Search Test Repository action searches a Tosca Test Repository using the settings configured in the Tosca section of the Configuration - Test Repository screen. The results will be the same as the Search Test Repository action‘s results in LiveCompare 4.8.2.
Transaction
If the Transaction checkbox is selected, the Search Test Repository action searches Tosca Test Repository to find Tosca test cases that use SAP engine modules. Transaction search results are similar to <no selections> search results with the following Tosca Test Repository configuration options set in the Configuration - Test Repository screen.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| FindSAPModules | Y |
| FindAPIModules | N |
| FindClassicModules | N |
| ScanTestCases | N |
Buffer
This setting applies to the search for BSP Applications (WAPAs). If the Buffer checkbox is selected, the Search Test Repository action captures the WAPA’s technical name as part of a URL stored in a buffer. If this search method is used, the Buffer Patterns field must be set to include one or more comma-separated string values. The search is limited to buffer names that include any of the buffer patterns as a substring.
Test Configuration
This setting applies to the search for BSP Applications (WAPAs). If the Test Configuration checkbox is selected, the Search Test Repository action captures the WAPA's technical name as part of a URL stored in a configuration parameter.
Tile Text
This setting applies to the search for BSP Applications (WAPAs). If the Tile Text checkbox is selected, the Search Test Repository action captures the WAPA’s tile text stored somewhere in the test case (for example, in steps or reusable test step blocks).
Parameter
If the Parameter checkbox is selected, the Search Test Repository action matches SEARCH_TERM values from its Source table against parameter values stored somewhere in a test case (for example, in steps or reusable test step blocks).
Buffer, Test Configuration, Tile Text and Parameter search results are similar to No selections search results with the following Tosca Repository configuration options set in the Configuration - Test Repository screen.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| ScanTestCases | Y |
| FindAPIModules | N |
| FindClassicModules | N |
| FindSAPModules | N |
UI5 Test Types to Find searches are supported by the Search Test Repository action if its Use Cache parameter is set to false.
Api Type SAP Module
If the Api Type SAP Module checkbox is selected, the Search Test Repository action matches SEARCH_TERM values from its Source table against custom modules associated with Fiori apps to find the associated tests. The custom modules have an ApiType attribute that begins with ‘sap.’.
