ABAP Test Cockpit
A static code analysis tool provided by SAP for checking the quality, security, and compliance of ABAP code. It can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines and helps quantify Clean Core compliance.
Timeline (last 90 days)
SAP recommends ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) as the solution for Clean Core development governance in private cloud and on-premise environments, and recommends using a central ATC on SAP BTP for unified cross-system code governance.
Agent-led code fixes may pass technical checks (such as compilation and ATC) yet still break business outcomes, so the review and testing steps are as important as the fixing step.
Custom code remediation (to comply with Clean Core principles) may cost $200,000 to $4 million one-time, with the difference depending almost entirely on the composition of the custom code rather than its volume.
ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) is SAP's built-in static code inspection framework, which can identify syntax risks, performance anti-patterns, security vulnerabilities and usages that violate Clean Core standards, producing a list of objects that must be rewritten and those that can be downgraded or retired.
The complete SAP custom code analysis toolchain also includes the SAP Custom Code Migration App (based on the ABAP Test Cockpit) and ATC (ABAP Test Cockpit) check variants, the latter of which can detect S/4-incompatible syntax and deprecated objects.
