Re-recording all of the eCATT scripts after system upgrade

Hi,

I’ve heard something today that got my attention: some people say that you have to re-record all of your scripts after an upgrade. In other words, upgrade from, for example, 5.0 to 6.0 makes eCATT scripts unusable and worthless. It is not just some screens or screen sequences have changed, and must be re-recorded. It's a total change and <b>everything, all scripts</b>, have to be re-done.

I would like to get some clarification on this.

Thank you in advance, Alexei Merkoulov

Hi,

CATT is no longer supported in 6.0, but eCATT (transaction SECATT) is, i read some copy of eCATT scripts are not possible in SECATT. But i am not 100% sure on this.

Please look at this blog may this will be find useful

Yes, I've also heard about this before. We do not use a lot of CATT (it's been turned into the data loading tool), so it is not an issue for us.

Here is my concern - we are on ECC 5.0 (WAS 6.40) and using eCATT to create and maintain scripts for automated functional testing. Let's say, we upgrade our system to 6.0 or 7.0, and want to use existing scripts for regression testing. I do not want to discover unexpectedly that our entire (all of it) existing body of automated scripts cannot function with the new version of the software.

Please let me know if you have similar experience with managing eCATT scripts upgrade in the past (say 6.20 to 6.40).

Thanks, AM
