Insert role switch

Role changes are used to perform workflow and authorization tests, e.g. for:

• E2E test cases that require different users for the entire process.
• Authorization tests where a test case is deliberately run with a user who lacks authorizations for the process. The system should then respond with an expected error message that is verified.

Functionality of role steps:

• An SAP session with the defined role is opened.
• The steps of the role step are executed.
• The SAP session is closed again.

To prevent multiple opening and closing of the same SAP session in an E2E test case, the checkbox “Reuse the session if possible” can be set in the role step header. In this way, the suxxesso Tool Suite checks whether there is already a suitable open SAP session and does not open a new one or close it at the end of the role step.

Role steps can be strung together across systems and/or technologies. The suxxesso Tool Suite recognizes whether an SAP GUI or a browser session must be opened.

Building blocks can also be called in a role step.
