String Testing

One transaction full activity is called string testing . For example Vendor invoice, goods received and vendor payment.

Integration Testing

It is purely with other modules and we have to check whether the FI testing is working with other related modules or not.

Regression Testing

Testing for whole database. Bring all the data into another server and do the testing is called regression.

UAT

When we test any particular document with the user and if it is ok immediately we have to take the signature on the document, which is signed off and can be forwarded to the immediate boss. There are some steps to be followed when we go for user acceptance testing.

Transaction u2013 Script Writing u2013 Expected Results u2013 Compare with Actual Results

TPR (Transaction Problem Reporting)

While doing the user acceptance testing if we get any problems then there are some methodologies to be followed according to the companyu2019s policy and normally as a tester we always need to write on Test Script itself.

Hope this helps you.

Following are the high level roles of testing consultants -

1. Prepare Test Scripts

2. Validate Existing Test Scripts

3. Understand the process for which a test script is created

4. Create test data basing on the test script specifications

5. Document the test results

6. Highlight the failure of the test scripts to the concerned module leads (FI, MM, SD,.........)

7. If any interfaces are connected to SAP, check with the interface owners if the data sent from SAP is received in the correct format.

8. Secure sign off the test script results from the client

Hope this helps you.
