SAP ABAP Test Cockpit - An introduction to SAP’s new ABAP Quality Assurance Tool

 SAP ABAP Test Cockpit - An introduction to SAP’s new ABAP Quality Assurance Tool

Bugs in our custom SAP ABAP code can be quite expensive when they impact critical business processes, which is why quality assurance of custom SAP ABAP code is receiving more & more attention in business. SAP also develops a great deal of SAP ABAP code, & for us as well, highest quality is our primary goal. To reach this goal, SAP invested in the SAP ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC), which has become SAP’s main internal quality assurance tool for SAP ABAP.

So we asked ourselves that why customers shouldn’t benefit from the SAP ABAP Test Cockpit as well.  We started a pilot project with two customers to find out if the SAP ABAP Test Cockpit can help customers assure the quality of custom code. If the results were so positive that SAP decided to adapt & extend the SAP ABAP Test Cockpit for the custom code. So we collaborated intensively with the pilot customers during the development cycle of the SAP ABAP Test Cockpit. As a result now we have a brand new SAP ABAP check tool developed with the input of customers for the customers.

ATC is already available with EhP2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 support package stack 12 (SAP Basis 7.02, SAP Kernel 7.20) & EhP3 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 support package stack 5 (SAP Basis 7.31, SAP Kernel 7.20).

SAP ABAP Test Cockpit – What is it, what are the benefits?

SAP ABAP Test Cockpit is a new SAP ABAP check toolset which allows us to run static checks & SAP ABAP Unit tests for our SAP ABAP programs. So in order to ensure a smooth migration & comparable check results throughout our company, the SAP ABAP Test Cockpit is compatible with SAP’s Code Inspector. This means we can reuse our custom Code Inspector checks & variants in the SAP ABAP Test Cockpit.

The developers will like the SAP ABAP Test Cockpit because it is directly integrated in the SAP ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse (SAP ABAP Test Cockpit for Developers in Eclipse) & SAP ABAP workbench & has superior usability. So working with ATC findings is very easy & efficient using the new SAP ABAP Test Cockpit filter, navigation, &  re check functionality. The team leads & quality engineers will like the SAP ABAP Test Cockpit because it introduces new quality assurance processes like quality gates, a robust exemption approval process & periodic regression tests in a quality system.

Now we can install & run ATC locally in the systems of our development landscape or install ATC centrally as a Hub & check your systems using Remote Code Analysis in ATC. ATC’s support for solid quality processes will minimize the errors in our productive system. In addition to this the ATC offers tools to analyze the SAP ABAP Test Cockpit results on the team or project level.  SAP ABAP Test Cockpit is integrated into the SAP Solution Manager (CCLM, CHARM) to allow cross system quality reporting.

Key benefits of ABAP Test Cockpit:

The standard code quality with functional, performance, security aspects [SAP ABAP Security Checks with the Code Vulnerability Analyzer (CVA)].

SAP ABAP Test Cockpit is fully integrated in the SAP ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse & in SAP ABAP development workbench with high usability for developers & quality experts. So the findings are reported in one prioritized work list.

Hope this helps. Thank you everyone.
