Lesson 1.3: Creating an SAP batch input test
In this lesson, learn how record a batch input test for
generating a load on the SAP R/3 server.
About this task
With SAP batch input tests, you can generate a load on the server without requiring that each virtual tester run the SAP GUI client. For performance testing, this is particularly useful because the test computer can typically simulate a much larger number of users with batch input virtual testers than with SAP GUI virtual testers.
However, SAP batch input tests cannot contain verification points and do not produce performance results by themselves. Therefore, you typically use batch input tests in a schedule mixed with SAP GUI tests to increase the load on the server. The actual test results are produced by the SAP GUI tests.
