SAP Testing - TAO Folder Structure

There are various modules inside the SAP TAO tool. We have discussed the key components in this chapter.

The first component is Process Flow Analyzer which is used to automatically find out the user interfaces used in transaction codes executed in the SAP system. It automatically creates the test components and uploads them to Quality Center.

Process Flow Analyzer is also used to identify the sequence of test components as per user actions and creation of spreadsheet values.
