Creating a New Analysis with an ALM Workflow in Worksoft Impact

If you have integrated OpenText Application Quality Management (ALM) with Worksoft Certify, you can integrate ALM with Certify Impact. By integrating Certify Impact with ALM, you can identify which ALM manual tests should be executed due to a Certify Impact analysis.

You must create a transport analysis in Worksoft Impact to identify the SAP system changes and to understand the impact by testing individual SAP transactions and executing selected Certify business processes.

You can test the usage of individual SAP transactions by executing selected Certify processes. When you create an analysis, you must complete the following tasks:

• Create a new analysis.
• Select the SAP system.
• Select the transports for your analysis.
• Select the transports and impacted objects you want to test.
• Select which Certify databases, projects, and processes you want to execute.
• View the test coverage gap.
• Create and execute an ALM Test Set and a CTM suite.
• View results.

To create a new analysis:

1. Open Worksoft Impact.

   The Worksoft Impact Dashboard opens.

   

2. Click Create Analysis.

   The New Analysis dialog opens.

   

3. From the Execution Workflow drop-down list, select ALM.
4. In the Analysis Name field, enter a unique name to help identify the analysis.

4. Click Next.

   The Transport Results tab opens with the transports that met your criteria.

   

5. Select the transports you want to analyze.

   If you have a large number of transport records, use the Search tool to find specific transports. In the Search field, enter any part of the transport number to filter transports. You can also use the Column filters to search for information.

   Select the Transport and Object Type column options for all transports and objects.

   The number of selected transports, TCodes, programs, and Fiori appear at the Selected section.

   If you have a large number of transport records, use the Search tool to find transports. In the Search field, enter any part of the transport number to filter transports. You can also use the Column filters to search for information.

   Also, you can use the Search Date tool to filter transports based on a month.

2. (Optional) If you want to add an object manually, click the OBJECT+ button.

   If you do not want to add an object manually, go to Step 7.
