ABAP Test Cockpit


ABAP Test Cockpit: What is it and what is the background/history?

ATC is the standard ABAP check frame work at SAP (for ERP, CRM, SCM, NetWeaver, ...)

ATC has been piloted successfully with two big customers with a lot of custom code

ATC customer version has been developed together with three big customers, who

reviewed the product after each development takt


ABAP Test Cockpit: What is it and what is the background/history?

SAP plans to release ATC for customers with:

SAP EhP 2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Support Package 12

planned RTC = 14.09.2012

SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.03 Support Package 05

planned RTC = 22.10.2012

The customer version of ATC is based on Code Inspector

Very easy migration: Just reuse your current global Code Inspector check variant


Outlook: ABAP security code scan tool

The Extended Program Check (SLIN) enhanced with security checks, with the ATC as

framework, serves as SAPs ABAP security code scan tool. The tool is being enhanced for the use of customers to scan customer coding, and will be available earliest by 2013.

Integrates tightly into developer workbench and transport tools, along with instant navigation, documentation and fix recommendation

Supports quality management processes like quality gates, regression testing and exemption handling

Developed by the ABAP Language Group, synchronous with latest ABAP developments

Incorporates input from various channels such as international security standards (OWASP, CWE), SAPs product security requirements, SAPs security response process, development programs and task forces.
