Checking Quality of ABAP Code with ATCLocate this document in the navigation structure

The ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) is the standard tool for checking the quality of ABAP development objects using static checks. As an ABAP developer, you can use ATC tools (whether you are working in the Eclipse-based ABAP Development Tools or in the ABAP backend Object Navigator) to find potential bugs already during the development phase. In particular, you can check the ABAP programs for many types of problems, including syntax errors, potential problems in performance, suboptimal or potentially faulty programming, adherence to standards, errors in ABAP Unit testing, among others.
