Abstract

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for executing integration scenario regression tests in customer landscapes. One example method includes identifying a request to create a test case for an integration scenario for a cloud platform customer. The test case is created for the scenario, including enabling the test case to run in an isolated customer environment specific to the customer. An update to the cloud platform is identified. The update is provisionally applied to the cloud platform for the customer. The test case is executed in the isolated customer environment, to test the scenario for the customer. A determination is made as to whether execution of the test case succeeded. In response to determining successful test case execution, the update to the cloud platform is finalized for the customer. In response to determining unsuccessful test case execution, the update is rolled back for the customer.

Claims (50)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

identifying a request to create a test case for an integration scenario for a customer of a cloud platform, wherein the integration scenario integrates a first instance of a first cloud application used by the customer with a second instance of a second cloud application used by the customer;

creating the test case for the integration scenario, wherein the creating includes enabling the test case to run in an isolated customer environment specific to the customer;

applying an update to a cloud platform for the customer;

executing, in response to a trigger, the test case in the isolated customer environment specific to the customer, to test the integration scenario for the customer;

determining whether execution of the test case succeeded;

and

in response to determining that the execution of the test case did not succeed, rolling back the applied update to the cloud platform for the customer.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying an update to the cloud platform; and

provisionally applying the update to the cloud platform for the customer.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the trigger comprises the update to the cloud platform.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the update is a software update to an integration tool included in the cloud platform.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the update is a content update to integration content used by the integration tool.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the content update is an integration content update published by integration content developers associated with the cloud platform.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the content update is a modification, by the customer, of the integration content update published by the integration content developers.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the test case is created by the integration tool.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the integration tool automatically creates the test case.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the integration tool creates the test case in response to receiving a request from the customer to create the test case.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the integration tool uses a simulator to simulate execution of the integration scenario.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a request, by the customer, to execute the test case; and

executing the test case, in response to the received request.

13. A system comprising:

one or more computers; and a computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more computers having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

identifying a request to create a test case for an integration scenario for a customer of a cloud platform, wherein the integration scenario integrates a first instance of a first cloud application used by the customer with a second instance of a second cloud application used by the customer;

creating the test case for the integration scenario, wherein the creating includes enabling the test case to run in an isolated customer environment specific to the customer;

applying an update to a cloud platform for the customer;

executing, in response to a trigger, the test case in the isolated customer environment specific to the customer, to test the integration scenario for the customer;

determining whether execution of the test case succeeded;

and

in response to determining that the execution of the test case did not succeed, rolling back the applied update to the cloud platform for the customer.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:

identifying an update to the cloud platform; and

provisionally applying the update to the cloud platform for the customer.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the trigger comprises the update to the cloud platform.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the update is a software update to an integration tool included in the cloud platform.

17. A computer program product encoded on a non-transitory storage medium, the product comprising non-transitory, computer readable instructions for causing one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

identifying a request to create a test case for an integration scenario for a customer of a cloud platform, wherein the integration scenario integrates a first instance of a first cloud application used by the customer with a second instance of a second cloud application used by the customer;

creating the test case for the integration scenario, wherein the creating includes enabling the test case to run in an isolated customer environment specific to the customer;

applying an update to a cloud platform for the customer;

executing, in response to a trigger, the test case in the isolated customer environment specific to the customer, to test the integration scenario for the customer;

determining whether execution of the test case succeeded;

and

in response to determining that the execution of the test case did not succeed, rolling back the applied update to the cloud platform for the customer.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise:

identifying an update to the cloud platform; and

provisionally applying the update to the cloud platform for the customer.

19. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the trigger comprises the update to the cloud platform.

20. The computer program product of claim 19 , wherein the update is a software update to an integration tool included in the cloud platform.
