Since SAP manages an information system that by its very nature is subject to change, it is important to regularly perform functional unit tests in your QA process to ensure that all these processes continually deliver the expected results.Įxample : SAP offers an HRIS solution that automates business HR operations, but also provides experiences that drive employee engagement and productivity. The SAP modules allow for the management of numerous business aspects such as finance, sales, production, logistics, distribution, accounting and human resources. The accessibility of these screens is decided according to the role occupied in the company and its needs in data management. In this case we advise you to supplement this mechanism, for example by using secure transfer protocols such as https or by using one-time passwords issued by a secure server. If you are carrying out tests on systems in the cloud, you will not be able to do otherwise. If you can’t do otherwise, like when you want to test the admin account, we advise you to do this on environments similar to production, but secured differently (for example, physically on your premises). The solution we recommend is to create users dedicated to the tests and with their own privileges, limited if possible. We do not recommend that you carry out your tests with real user accounts by encrypting passwords. We recommend using encrypted passwords when you have no other options.

Each variable declared using $pass() variables is treated in the same way.They do not appear in the logs generated by Agilitest and ATS.They are not visible in ATS files, not even their declarations.Passwords are not printed in the editor's user interface other than in its edit menu.Here are the differences with normal variable management:

The value can then be retrieved in ATS as a normal variable using the $pass(variable) keyword.
