ABAP Test Cockpit
Once you have saved your settings, this ensures that, during a Code Inspector
check, the unit test will run along with the static code checks and amalgamate the
results. The result of such a test is shown in Figure 4.2.
Figure 4.2 ATC: Amalgamated Result List
In the same way that the ATC can perform static code checks on multiple programs
at once, it can also do unit test runs on the same set of objects. Provided
you have a lot of unit tests in your custom programs, this can be enormously beneficial
as a regression test.
RS_AUCV_RUNNER
If you are only interested in th e results of unit tests, report RS_AUCV_RUNNER can be
used to run a batch job for mass checks of unit tests and emailing the results; this report
became available in the 7.02 system.
4.2 Mass Checks
Usually, when creating development objects (executable programs, function
modules, and classes), you would perform an extended syntax check and then a
Code Inspector analysis when you are finished with your changes and are signaling
that they are ready for transport to the test system.
This is all good, but it’s possible that if(for example) you have added a new obligatory
import parameter to a function mo dule or method (which you should not
really do) or changed the data type of such a parameter, then you might break a
