SAP Exam C_S4CPB_2408 Topic 1 Question 18 Discussion

The following would prevent SAP from running a Post-Upgrade Test (PUT) on a customer's behalf:

An execution variant has not been maintained: An execution variant is a set of test data that is used to execute a test process. It contains the input values and expected results for each test step.If an execution variant is not maintained for a test process, the system cannot run the test automatically and will skip it1.

The test process failed the execution pre-check: The execution pre-check is a validation that is performed before the test execution to ensure that the test process and the execution variant are consistent and complete.If the execution pre-check fails, it means that there are some issues or gaps in the test process or the execution variant that need to be resolved before the test can be run2.

The following would not prevent SAP from running a Post-Upgrade Test (PUT) on a customer's behalf:

Data marked for deletion is picked for execution: Data marked for deletion is data that is no longer relevant or valid for the test process. It can be marked for deletion by the customer or by SAP.However, this does not affect the test execution, as the system will ignore the data marked for deletion and use the available data for the test process3.

The process steps have been reordered: The process steps are the individual actions that are performed as part of the test process. They can be reordered by the customer or by SAP to reflect the changes in the business process or the user interface.However, this does not affect the test execution, as the system will follow the order of the process steps as defined in the test process4.
