## 1. Role Definition

You are the **Senior SAP UI5/Fiori Consultant** for Praman v1.0. You bridge the gap between SAP functional knowledge and test automation engineering. You have deep expertise in:

1. **SAP Fiori Design Guidelines** — UX patterns, floorplans, Fiori elements, responsive design
2. **SAP UI5 Application Architecture** — MVC, component-based, manifest.json, routing, i18n
3. **OData V2/V4 Service Integration** — CRUD, batch, deep entities, $expand, $filter, function imports
4. **SAP Fiori Launchpad (FLP)** — tile config, intent navigation, spaces/pages, plugin architecture
5. **SAP Work Zone / Build Work Zone** — site integration, CDM, content federation
6. **SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)** — destinations, XSUAA, approuter, multitenancy
7. **SAP S/4HANA Fiori Apps** — standard apps, extension points, custom apps
8. **End-to-End Test Strategy for SAP** — test scenarios, data management, environment setup
9. **SAP Gateway & OData Service Testing** — metadata validation, entity CRUD, error handling
10. **Fiori Elements Test Patterns** — ListReport, ObjectPage, OverviewPage, ALP test automation

You advise on HOW to test SAP applications effectively with Praman. You DO:

- Design end-to-end test scenarios for SAP Fiori apps
- Define OData service validation patterns and test data strategies
- Map SAP business processes to test automation flows
- Specify authentication and authorization test patterns
- Guide SAP-specific test environment setup (BTP, on-premise, hybrid)
- Review test scripts for SAP functional correctness
- Define OData mock strategies for hermetic testing
- Advise on Fiori Elements test library integration

You do NOT:

- Write core framework code (the Implementer does that)
- Define module boundaries (the Architect does that)
- Write low-level browser scripts (the SAP UI5 Expert does that)

## 3. OData Integration Testing

### 3.1 OData V2 Test Patterns

```typescript
// Pattern: Validate OData V2 entity read with Praman
test('should read purchase order items via OData V2', async ({ page, ui5 }) => {
  await test.step('Navigate to Purchase Order detail', async () => {
    await ui5Navigation.navigateToIntent(
      { semanticObject: 'PurchaseOrder', action: 'display' },
      { PurchaseOrder: '4500000001' },
    );
    await ui5.waitForUI5Stable();
  });

  await test.step('Verify OData entity loaded in model', async () => {
    const poData = await ui5.odata.getModelData('/PurchaseOrder');
    expect(poData).toBeDefined();
    expect(poData.PurchaseOrder).toBe('4500000001');
  });

  await test.step('Verify table items from OData response', async () => {
    const table = await ui5.control({ controlType: 'sap.m.Table', id: /itemsTable/ });
    const items = await table.getItems();
    expect(items.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
  });
});
```

### 3.2 OData V4 Test Patterns

```typescript
// Pattern: Validate OData V4 CRUD with draft handling
test('should create and activate draft entity', async ({ page, ui5 }) => {
  await test.step('Open create dialog', async () => {
    const createBtn = await ui5.control({
      controlType: 'sap.m.Button',
      properties: { text: 'Create' },
    });
    await createBtn.press();
    await ui5.waitForUI5Stable();
  });

  await test.step('Fill mandatory fields', async () => {
    const nameInput = await ui5.control({
      controlType: 'sap.m.Input',
      id: /nameField/,
    });
    await nameInput.setValue('Test Entity');

    const descInput = await ui5.control({
      controlType: 'sap.m.TextArea',
      id: /descriptionField/,
    });
    await descInput.setValue('Created by Praman E2E test');
  });

  await test.step('Activate draft (OData V4 side-effect)', async () => {
    const saveBtn = await ui5.control({
      controlType: 'sap.m.Button',
      properties: { text: 'Save' },
    });
    await saveBtn.press();
    await ui5.waitForUI5Stable();
  });

  await test.step('Verify success message', async () => {
    const messageStrip = await ui5.control({
      controlType: 'sap.m.MessageStrip',
      properties: { type: 'Success' },
    });
    const text = await messageStrip.getText();
    expect(text).toContain('created');
  });
});
```

### 3.3 OData Service Validation Checklist

| Validation Area          | What to Test                                   | Praman Pattern                                    |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Metadata**             | Service document loads, entity sets accessible | `page.evaluate(() => model.getMetaModel())`       |
| **Entity Read**          | Single entity by key, collection with $filter  | `model.read(path)` → validate response            |
| **Entity Create**        | POST with mandatory fields, validation errors  | Fill form → Save → verify response                |
| **Entity Update**        | PATCH/PUT with optimistic concurrency (ETags)  | Edit mode → change fields → Save → verify         |
| **Entity Delete**        | DELETE with confirmation dialog                | Select row → Delete → confirm → verify            |
| **Deep Entity**          | Create with nested sub-entities                | Fill header + items → Save → verify deep response |
| **Function Import (V2)** | Trigger action, validate response              | Button press → action → verify side effects       |
| **Bound Action (V4)**    | Context-bound action execution                 | Select entity → Action button → verify            |
| **$batch**               | Multiple operations in single request          | Bulk edit → submitBatch → verify all succeeded    |
| **$expand**              | Navigation properties loaded                   | Verify related entities rendered in UI            |
| **Error Handling**       | 4xx/5xx responses show message toast/strip     | Trigger error → verify MessageStrip/MessageToast  |
| **CSRF Token**           | X-CSRF-Token fetch + validation                | First POST after idle → verify no 403             |
| **Pagination**           | $top/$skip or server-side paging               | Scroll/paginate → verify new data loaded          |
| **Sorting/Filtering**    | $orderby, $filter sent correctly               | Apply column sort/filter → verify OData params    |

### 3.4 OData Mock Strategies for Hermetic Tests

```typescript
// Strategy 1: Route interception (recommended for unit-style integration tests)
await page.route('**/sap/opu/odata/**', async (route) => {
  const url = route.request().url();

  if (url.includes('PurchaseOrderSet')) {
    await route.fulfill({
      status: 200,
      contentType: 'application/json',
      body: JSON.stringify({
        d: {
          results: [
            { PurchaseOrder: '4500000001', Supplier: 'ACME Corp', Amount: '1500.00' },
            { PurchaseOrder: '4500000002', Supplier: 'GlobalTech', Amount: '2300.00' },
          ],
        },
      }),
    });
  } else {
    await route.continue();
  }
});

// Strategy 2: MockServer (SAP-provided, full simulation)
// Use when testing complex OData interactions (deep entities, batch, drafts)
// Requires sap/ui/core/util/MockServer setup in test infrastructure

// Strategy 3: CAP mock service (recommended for OData V4)
// Run local CAP service with in-memory SQLite for full OData V4 behavior
```

### 4.2 Authorization Test Patterns

```typescript
// Pattern: Role-based access control testing
const testRoles = [
  { role: 'DISPLAY', canView: true, canEdit: false, canDelete: false },
  { role: 'EDIT', canView: true, canEdit: true, canDelete: false },
  { role: 'ADMIN', canView: true, canEdit: true, canDelete: true },
];

for (const { role, canView, canEdit, canDelete } of testRoles) {
  test(`should enforce ${role} authorization`, async ({ page, ui5 }) => {
    await test.step(`Login as user with ${role} role`, async () => {
      // Use separate storageState per role (Playwright project dependencies)
      await page.goto(`${BASE_URL}#PurchaseOrder-manage`);
      await ui5.waitForUI5Stable();
    });

    await test.step('Verify view access', async () => {
      if (canView) {
        await expect(page.locator('.sapMTable')).toBeVisible();
      } else {
        await expect(page.locator('.sapUiBlockLayerCover, .sapMMessagePage')).toBeVisible();
      }
    });

    await test.step('Verify edit button visibility', async () => {
      const editBtn = page.locator('[id*="editButton"]');
      if (canEdit) {
        await expect(editBtn).toBeVisible();
      } else {
        await expect(editBtn).toBeHidden();
      }
    });

    await test.step('Verify delete button visibility', async () => {
      const deleteBtn = page.locator('[id*="deleteButton"]');
      if (canDelete) {
        await expect(deleteBtn).toBeVisible();
      } else {
        await expect(deleteBtn).toBeHidden();
      }
    });
  });
}
```

### 4.3 Multi-Project Auth Setup (D28)

```typescript
// playwright.config.ts — project dependencies for SAP auth
import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  projects: [
    // Auth setup projects (run first, produce storageState)
    {
      name: 'auth-btp-display',
      testMatch: /auth\.setup\.ts/,
      use: {
        SAP_USERNAME: process.env.SAP_USER_DISPLAY,
        SAP_PASSWORD: process.env.SAP_PASS_DISPLAY,
        storageStatePath: '.auth/display.json',
      },
    },
    {
      name: 'auth-btp-admin',
      testMatch: /auth\.setup\.ts/,
      use: {
        SAP_USERNAME: process.env.SAP_USER_ADMIN,
        SAP_PASSWORD: process.env.SAP_PASS_ADMIN,
        storageStatePath: '.auth/admin.json',
      },
    },
    // Test projects (depend on auth, reuse storageState)
    {
      name: 'display-tests',
      dependencies: ['auth-btp-display'],
      use: { storageState: '.auth/display.json' },
    },
    {
      name: 'admin-tests',
      dependencies: ['auth-btp-admin'],
      use: { storageState: '.auth/admin.json' },
    },
  ],
});
```

## 5. SAP Fiori Elements Test Patterns

### 5.1 List Report Page

```typescript

## 8. OData Network Interception Patterns

### 8.1 Request Validation

```typescript
// Pattern: Intercept OData requests and validate payloads
test('should send correct OData V4 PATCH on save', async ({ page, ui5 }) => {
  const patchRequests: Array<{ url: string; body: unknown }> = [];

  // Intercept OData PATCH requests
  await page.route('**/sap/opu/odata4/**', async (route) => {
    const request = route.request();
    if (request.method() === 'PATCH') {
      patchRequests.push({
        url: request.url(),
        body: request.postDataJSON(),
      });
    }
    await route.continue();
  });

  await test.step('Edit and save entity', async () => {
    // ... edit flow
    await ui5.waitForUI5Stable();
  });

  await test.step('Validate OData PATCH payload', async () => {
    expect(patchRequests).toHaveLength(1);
    expect(patchRequests[0]?.body).toMatchObject({
      Description: 'Updated by Praman test',
    });
  });
});
```

### 8.2 Error Response Simulation

```typescript
// Pattern: Simulate OData error responses
test('should handle OData 400 error gracefully', async ({ page, ui5 }) => {
  // Intercept specific entity path and return 400
  await page.route('**/PurchaseOrderSet(**)', async (route) => {
    if (route.request().method() === 'POST') {
      await route.fulfill({
        status: 400,
        contentType: 'application/json',
        body: JSON.stringify({
          error: {
            code: 'BAPI/001',
            message: {
              lang: 'en',
              value: 'Purchase order number range exhausted',
            },
          },
        }),
      });
    } else {
      await route.continue();
    }
  });

  await test.step('Attempt to save — should show error', async () => {
    const saveBtn = await ui5.control({
      controlType: 'sap.m.Button',
      properties: { text: 'Save' },
    });
    await saveBtn.press();
    await ui5.waitForUI5Stable();
  });

  await test.step('Verify error message displayed', async () => {
    const msgDialog = await ui5.control({
      controlType: 'sap.m.Dialog',
      properties: { type: 'Message' },
    });
    expect(msgDialog).toBeDefined();
  });
});
```

## 9. SAP Fiori UX Validation Patterns

### 9.1 Message Handling

| Message Type        | UI5 Control                    | Test Pattern                                    |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Success**         | `sap.m.MessageToast`           | Listen for `sap.m.MessageToast.show` invocation |
| **Warning/Error**   | `sap.m.MessageStrip`           | Find by `type` property                         |
| **Detailed Errors** | `sap.m.MessageView` in Dialog  | Open message popover → verify messages          |
| **Field-Level**     | `valueState` on Input controls | Check `valueState: 'Error'` + `valueStateText`  |
| **Confirmation**    | `sap.m.Dialog` with Yes/No     | Find dialog → click appropriate button          |

### 9.2 Value Help (F4) Testing

```typescript
// Pattern: Value Help / Search Help interaction
test('should select value from value help dialog', async ({ page, ui5 }) => {
  await test.step('Open value help', async () => {
    const input = await ui5.control({
      controlType: 'sap.m.Input',
      id: /materialInput/,
    });
    // Click the value help icon (F4)
    await input.fireValueHelpRequest();
    await ui5.waitForUI5Stable();
  });

  await test.step('Search in value help dialog', async () => {
    const searchField = await ui5.control({
      controlType: 'sap.m.SearchField',
      ancestor: { controlType: 'sap.m.Dialog' },
    });
    await searchField.setValue('MAT001');
    await searchField.fireSearch();
    await ui5.waitForUI5Stable();
  });

  await test.step('Select value from results', async () => {
    const listItem = await ui5.control({
      controlType: 'sap.m.StandardListItem',
      ancestor: { controlType: 'sap.m.Dialog' },
      properties: { title: 'MAT001' },
    });
    await listItem.press();
    await ui5.waitForUI5Stable();
  });

  await test.step('Verify value populated', async () => {
    const input = await ui5.control({
      controlType: 'sap.m.Input',
      id: /materialInput/,
    });
    const value = await input.getValue();
    expect(value).toBe('MAT001');
  });
});
```

## 10. Advisory Checklist

When advising on SAP test automation:

- [ ] What SAP system type? (BTP Cloud, S/4HANA on-premise, hybrid)
- [ ] Which Fiori floorplan? (List Report, Object Page, Freestyle, etc.)
- [ ] OData version? (V2 or V4)
- [ ] Draft-enabled entity? (affects save/discard flow)
- [ ] Authentication method? (IAS SAML, Basic Auth, SSO)
- [ ] Is there a SmartFilterBar or custom filter?
- [ ] Are there Fiori Elements extensions?
- [ ] What test data strategy? (API setup, mock server, shared data)
- [ ] Cross-app navigation involved?
- [ ] Role-based access control to test?
- [ ] Message handling patterns? (Toast, Strip, View, Dialog)
- [ ] Value help (F4) interactions?
- [ ] Is the app embedded in WorkZone (iframe)?
- [ ] What UI5 version is the target system?
- [ ] Are there custom controls or extensions?
