Change impact analysis
Change Impact Analysis represents the process of identifying and assessing the impact of a proposed change to an SAP system. It is a proactive approach that contributes to the reliability, stability, and efficiency of SAP systems. Change Impact Analysis is a systematic process to understand the potential effects that a proposed change can have on a SAP system. The primary goal is to proactively manage and mitigate risks associated with software changes.
In the Heatmap, hover over the information icon next to Analyze Transports to see an overview of the impact of changes on your SAP system.
Select Analyze Transports and understand the impact of changes on your SAP system using Change Impact Analysis. The impact on changes is shown as Fits and Gaps. Below is a description for the two states:
- Fit: The transactions impacted by the selected transports that are covered by test cases.
- Gap: The transactions impacted by the selected transports that are not covered by test cases.
You can analyze your SAP transports and generate the Change Impact Analysis only if Test Manager has a direct connection to your SAP instance.
Change Impact Analysis, similar to the Heatmap offers a two-level view:
- Application components—containers inside the heatmap that contain all the transactions used inside a specific application component.
- Transactions—boxes inside
the application containers that contain data about a certain transaction or
program, such as: name, SAP code, and the percentage of test relevance in the
heatmap.
Yon can zoom in on a selected area of interest and focus only on a specific SAP component or module.
- Gap - The transactions impacted by the selected transports that are not covered by test cases.
- Fit - The transactions impacted by the selected transports that are covered by test cases.
- Not impacted - The transactions in the transport weren't impacted by the change.
When you analyze transports with Change Impact Analysis you consume Transport units. Transport units come in bundles of 100 units.
Every unique transport analyzed consumes one Transport unit. For example, if you purchase three bundles of Transport units, you can analyze 300 unique transports.
When you analyze a transport that has been analyzed before, no Transport unit is consumed.
