The following documentation describes the various functions of the runtime analysis tool in the ABAP Workbench. Runtime analysis shows you how long it takes to process ABAP code, from single statements to a complete transaction.

To start the runtime analysis, choose Tools -> ABAP Workbench -> Test -> Runtime analysis (or transaction SE30). On the initial screen you can choose one of four main functions.

• Measurement in the current status
• Measurement in a new session
• Select measurement restrictions
• Analyze performance data

For large applications it is recommended that you first analyze the entire application and hit list.

The following documentation explains how to perform an analysis, display and interpret the results, and use the information to optimize your program.
