1.Process flow
Analyzer (PFA) :
The process flow analyzer (PFA) records all user interactions, and the sequence of screens, in a business process, and stores it in the SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization repository. It automates inspection, retrieval of dynamic SAP GUI properties at runtime, and creation of components.
2.Inspection :
Inspection of a screen helps you to create a screen component, which contains the list of controls (such as text fields, labels, and dropdown boxes) on the screen. This information is gathered from the definition of the screen in the managed system. In some cases, the inspection fails because the screen is only dynamically defined during runtime (dynamic screen).
The SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization application has two modes of inspection.
- The Inspection tab page in the SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization client enables you to select multiple SAP GUI screens and transactions for testing, in an easy-to-use interface. It then determines whether these screens are valid, and sends them to SAP Quality Center as screen components. Use the PFA to record dynamic screens.
- The UI Scanner tab page collects information from one screen at a time, and sends screen objects to SAP Quality Center, as a component. The UI scanner requires an active QuickTest Professional installation on your local work station. Use the PFA to record dynamic screens.
The inspection of screens is included in the PFA. Use PFA first, to automate the testing of business processes. You use the inspection first for the screens that cannot be recorded using PFA.
3.Consolidation :
Consolidation gathers all the objects and data in an SAP Quality Center test, and creates a single component. If you reconsolidate this component, you get a component that contains all the code and screen elements in a test. It executes much faster than the individual components. These consolidated components help you to maintain business processes. Consolidation also takes dependent testsinto account.
The parameter of a basic component is available for a consolidated component, only if a value has been set for the parameter before consolidation. You can still edit this parameter after consolidation. If you add a parameter to the basic component after consolidation, you need to reconsolidate the basic component.
Consolidation synchronizes the content in the data table (number of lines), and the iterations of the component in the test which makes use of it (generated by SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization while consolidating the intial test).
4.Import/Export :
Import/export is used to exchange components between the SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization client and SAP Quality Center. It is also helpful for maintenance functions, such as moving components between servers or projects. The import/export module does the following.
Export components from the inspector in the SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization client to SAP Quality Center
- ImportImport components from SAP Quality Center to the SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization client
- Export components from the local memory to SAP Quality Center
- Export a component from the UI scanner and send it to SAP Quality Center, in the background
5.Change Analyzer :
Change analysis analyzes the impact of changes due to upgrades, SAP patches, or custom development on a test, component, or consolidated component. The impact is found by comparison of results from the technical bill of materials (TBOM), transport requests and SAP patches.
6.Repository :
The SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization repository is part of the SAP Solution Manager system, and is used to store data required for creation, optimization, and maintenance of components and tests. The repository contains the following:
- User interactions and the sequence of screens in a business process
- Information specific to SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization, that cannot be retrieved by other tools
- Results or states during process flow analysis, before the component is created
The SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization repository tools comprise the following.
- Component explorer
The component explorer views the list of components in a domain and project.
- PFA explorer
The PFA explorer displays the list of analyses performed by PFA.
7.Self-Check :
Self-Check verifies whether the installation is complete and all the prerequisites for executing SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization have been met.

Application Area:
SAP TAO needs to load
some additional “add-ins” while a test. The list of add-ins required to be
loaded needs to be declared by creating an Application Area. The Application
Area dedicated to SAP TAO must be created in QTP.
