Coverage Analyzer

The ABAP Coverage Analyzer is a tool for collecting and analyzing the code coverage of test suites. You can use it to improve the quality of ABAP Unit tests and integration tests and to help manage quality assurance testing.

The Coverage Analyzer tracks how much of your code is exercised in the course of testing or even in the course of normal production use. The Coverage Analyzer reports on code coverage at the procedure, branch, and statement levels. It also tracks the frequency with which code is executed and the occurrence of runtime errors.

Here are some typical tasks for which you can use the ABAP Coverage Analyzer:

• If you are a developer, you can use the Coverage Analyzer to Validating Tests with the Coverage Analyzer in Development Systems.

  You can determine how much of your code is exercised by your tests. You can efficiently find gaps in your testing that you can fill with new or modified tests. You can verify that your integration tests correspond in terms of code coverage to actual user scenarios.

  You can see the code coverage your tests achieve in your development system with the coverage display in the ABAP Unit Browser or Detail Display.

• If you are a quality manager, you can use the Coverage Analyzer to do the following:
  • Monitor the code coverage achieved by testing in a QA system.You can use code coverage as a measure of the adequacy of the testing.
  • Analyze and report on trends in code coverage in a QA system
  • Aggregate code coverage results from remote systems for reporting.
