ABAP_MODIFICATION_3 ABAP Unit
The pseudo comments
"#AU Risk_Level ...
"#AU Duration ...
can be use to define test properties when creating test classes with the statement CLASS ... FOR TESTING .
To enable the reuse of elaborate and extensive test preparations, you can define global test classes in the Class Builder . Global test classes should always be abstract, can only be used in local test classes and, like these, are not generated in production systems.
ABAP_MODIFICATION_4 Logpoints
The new LOG-POINT statement allows you write unconditional log entries into the log, which is also used by
ASSERT . Logpoints are activatable checkpoints , whose activation must be controlled using
checkpoint groups or activation variants . Logpoints replace the incorrect usage of ASSERT for pure logging purposes.
