Set SAP test generation preferences

You can change how SAP performance tests are generated, such as how tests will process verification points, data correlation, and pages.

To change the SAP test generation preferences:

1. Click Window > Preferences.

2. In the list on the left, expand Test, expand Performance Test Generation, and click SAP Test Generation.

3. Select the preference to change.

   Automatic Generation

   These settings specify test elements that are automatically generated after recording the test.

   Use connection by string

   When enabled, tests are generated with the connection by string launch method instead of using the SAP Logon program. This option is enabled by default.

   Verification points for SAP screen titles

   When enabled, this option generates verification points on screentitles with each SAP screen. This option is disabled by default.

   Verification points for SAP request response time threshold

   When enabled, this option generates verification points on the response time of the SAP R/3 server. If the server response time is above the specified threshold, the test produces a failed verification point. This option is disabled by default.

   Calculate threshold from recorded (%)

   This specifes the default response time threshold calculated when response time verification points are generated. The threshold value is calculated as a percentage of the actual response time that was measured during the recording. By default, the response time threshold is generated with a value of 120% of the recorded response time.

   GUI on execution

   During test execution, it might not be desirable to display the SAP GUI. Hiding the SAP GUI improves the performance of the virtual users. This setting specifies the default behavior when the test is generated. However, you can change this setting in the test editor by selecting the SAP test element.

   Hide GUI during execution

   When selected, all instances of the SAP GUI are hidden. In some cases, modal dialog boxes from the SAP GUI can flash briefly on the screen. This is the default setting.

   Show GUI for only one virtual user

   When selected, the SAP GUI is displayed only for the first virtual user. All other instances of the SAP GUI are hidden. This allows you to monitor the execution.

   Show GUI for all virtual users

   When selected, the SAP GUI is displayed for all virtual users.

   Password prompt

   Specifies behavior of the password request.

   Prompt me for password when generating test

   When enabled, a password is requested at the end of the recording session. If disabled, the password is recorded with an empty string. The recorder cannot record the password during the test. Therefore, if this option is disabled, the test uses an empty string for the password.

4. After changing a setting, click Apply.
