Test Preparation and Test Plans in SAP Cloud ALM

Keep this: job aid

Cloud ALM test preparation checklist

• Create test cases from scope, solution process and flow diagram; check assignments before saving.
• Activities are business steps; actions have precise instructions and checkable expected results.
• Flag Evidence Required only on outcomes that matter: prices, postings, approvals, authorizations.
• Put test data sheets and setup guides in References.
• Link requirements and user stories in Relations; no orphan tests before a cycle.
• Review: author, key user, data, then set Prepared.
• Upload: XLSX, one file per scope, 500 test cases and 10,001 rows max, template columns untouched.
• Plans: title, owner, dates, tags; one tester per test case; sequence only chained scenarios.
• Set a plan to In Testing only after the cycle entry check; restrict status changes mid-cycle.
