SAP Cloud ALM integration

SAP Cloud ALM can start your NeoLoad Web performance tests and show the results next to the rest of your test activity. Your team plans and triggers a run in SAP Cloud ALM, and NeoLoad Web generates the load and stores the result.

An admin enables the integration once for the whole account.

How the integration works

Traffic flows in one direction. NeoLoad Web issues one set of credentials for your account. An admin registers those credentials in SAP Cloud ALM as a Tricentis automation provider. From then on, SAP Cloud ALM calls NeoLoad Web, and NeoLoad Web never calls SAP Cloud ALM.

Your team configures and triggers everything in SAP Cloud ALM, and NeoLoad Web only answers requests. Your team can still see what SAP Cloud ALM did. In the Tests list, the Last modified by column shows SAP Cloud ALM for any test it creates or changes. On a test result, hover over the start details to see who or what started the run.

In SAP Cloud ALM, every test belongs to a business process, which is the activity your team wants to verify. When someone creates an automated test case (opens in new tab) from a business process, SAP Cloud ALM asks NeoLoad Web to create the test.

Available actions

After you connect the products, SAP Cloud ALM can do the following:

  • List the tests in your NeoLoad Web account.

  • Create a NeoLoad Web test from a business process.

  • Start a test run.

  • Track a run in progress.

  • Show past runs, with a link to the results in NeoLoad Web.

Equivalent terms

The two products use different words for the same things, and sometimes the same word for different things:

In SAP Cloud ALM

In NeoLoad Web

Test case

A test.

Job

A single test result, which is one run of a test.

Job Status

The status of the test result while it runs. While a test runs, the Job Status in SAP Cloud ALM reads planned, starting, running, finished, aborted, or unknown.

Result status

The quality status of the test result, which appears at the top of the result, for example Passed.

Project and scope

Nothing. NeoLoad Web ignores both. In NeoLoad Web, project means the uploaded test design, so the same word means different things in each product.

Limits

The integration has the following limits:

  • When SAP Cloud ALM creates a test, the test lands in the default workspace. NeoLoad Web ignores the SAP project and scope, so you can't route a new test into a specific workspace from SAP Cloud ALM.

  • NeoLoad Web has no test data variants, so SAP Cloud ALM shows a single placeholder variant for every test.

  • SAP Cloud ALM can create a test and start it, but it can't design the test. You still record and design a test in NeoLoad, then upload the project to NeoLoad Web.

What's next

Enable the integration in NeoLoad Web to get the credentials your SAP Cloud ALM admin needs.
