ABAP Unit
ABAP Unit is a test framework for unit tests
. ABAP Unit can be used to:
run single tests or mass tests
evaluate test results
Single texts can be started directly in the tool for the program in
question. More comprehensive test runs are executed from ABAP Unit
Browser in ABAP Workbench or by using ABAP Test Cockpit . ABAP
Unit is closely associated with
Coverage Analyzer , enabling test coverage to be measured as well.
In ABAP programs, unit tests are performed as
test methods in local
test classes . They are not part of the
production code of a program, but are transported in the same way. Test
methods of this type are executed and evaluated using ABAP Unit
Framework. The test methods generally call the tested units of the
production code and then check the results using methods of the class
CL_ABAP_UNIT_ASSERT . Test classes
and test methods are defined using the following language elements.
Special test includes are used to define
test classes in class pools and function groups.
CLASS ... DEFINITION FOR TESTING
METHODS ... FOR TESTING
If test classes implement interfaces, then not all interface methods
generally need to be implemented there. The error message or warning
that otherwise occurs can be hidden in test classes by using an addition
of the statement INTERFACES .
INTERFACES ... PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED
Notes
All components required for tests in the context of ABAP Unit should be
defined exclusively in test classes. This ensures that they are not
generated in production systems and cannot be addressed by production
code. Alongside test classes with test methods, this also includes test
dummies and other helper classes that do not contain test methods.
