The ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) is the central SAP tool to check, evaluate and improve the quality of customer ABAP developments (so-called Z-Code).
What is the benefit?
The number of companies that use and appreciate ATC productively is growing rapidly. There are several reasons for this:
- ATC increases the security, stability, performance, maintainability and releaseability of the programs developed in-house and provides support during HANA or S/4HANA implementation.
- ATC also increases the competence of the developers and their sensitivity for the above-mentioned topics.
- ATC is included in the standard system and can be implemented easily and cost-effectively.
- ATC requires little administrative effort and – provided that the implementation was well done – runs largely automatically and “silently”.
- ATC will be further expanded. For example, under S/4HANA and the use of ADT (ABAP Development Tool, successor to SE80) there is the possibility of mass changes to programs.
clavis supports you with additional, exclusive services
- A tried and tested procedure model

We also have preconfigured templates for the checks available for you and have developed a number of additional tools that extend and optimize the ABAP Test Cockpit, such as
- System-wide test runs and automated notification of developers about found errors
- Automated release of findings, according to defined rules
- ATC errors when checking SAP standard code in the customer namespace (e.g. OData services) are ignored
- Customer-specific ATC checks in addition to SAP standard checks
- GDPR-compliant check of access to personal data or connection to ILM
Benefit from our strategy
Experience shows that ATC is hardly noticeable after a few weeks in productive use, but it has a measurable effect: the quality of the developments reaches a significantly higher level and saves IT maintenance and development costs in the long term.
But: If ATC is introduced without “advance warning”, this can lead to a considerable hindrance for developers who are suddenly confronted with unexpected and unknown requirements.
