 Testing Event HandlingLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Within the test environment, you can test event handling using a default handler that catches the event when it is triggered. A simulation of the ABAP SET HANDLER statement assigns handlers to triggering events.

Prerequisites

You must have created an instance of the class that you want to test. For more information, see Creating Instances .

Procedure
  1. In the Events branch of the object display, select an event.
  2. Choose Handler to enable the handler.

    The icon changes to indicate that the handler is active.

  3. Select a method in the object display.
  4. Choose Execute. For more information about calling the method, see Testing methods .
Result

If the method is called successfully, the chosen event is triggered and the result is displayed.

Note

To switch off the handler for the chosen event, choose Utilities → Event handling → Switch off handler.
