4. The Business Landscape SAP 41 (Main Manufacturing) SAP 41 (Main Manufacturing) M.C.M. SHARE (Oracle Siebel) SCON Configure VB App E-Commerce Country Specific Instances of SAP SAP 40 - USA SAP 45 – Germany SCON: Quotation Generation application uses complex algorithm for various product types; details fetched from SHARE

5. The Business Landscape SAP system maintains all details of products and prices Diagrams & Literature are maintained in MCM, which provides the data to e- commerce website & the SHARE Siebel system Siebel system manages quotations through SCON, a VB application SCON is driven by complex and detailed logic for quotations, which has validation requirements

6. 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 6 Copyright Anantara Solutions Private Limited 2007.

7. Proposed Solution Phased approach towards automation of SCON regression testing Phase1 Pre-POC Understand the requirements in detail and develop automation plan Phase2 POC Develop a proof-of- concept demonstrating the identified test cases Phase3 Project Develop the test automation framework and deliver the complete solution for regression testing of SCON 7 Copyright Anantara Solutions Private Limited 2007. All rights reserved.

8. 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 prioritiesValidate existing order management systemDesign 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

9. 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 Proof Of Concept (offshore team over approx. 10 weeks) Automation solution development of identified POC tests Test automation environment set up, and automation approach finalized Deliverable: Demonstration of identified paths for automation 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
