Code Inspector - Scan Engine

Code InspectorThe Code Inspector is a tool for checking static ABAP coding and generally all objects of the Object Repository under aspects of Performance, Security, Reliability, and Statistical Information

InstallationIncluded in SAP standard starting from SAP ECC 6.0 EhP 0

(SAP BASIS 7.0)

What about the check done by the code inspector?

Extended Program Check – called to analyze more than 300 rules about alerts and warnings

Code Inspector’s rules - called to obtain Code Metrics and analyze more than 40 rules about Standards, Security, Performances and even HANA readiness

Custom Check rules – can be plugged into Code Inspector without modification to the standard

ABAP Test Cockpit The Powerful enterprise-ready tool to perform static program analysis of Custom ABAP Code (based on Code Inspector).

InstallationIncluded in SAP standard since SAP ECC 6.0 EhP6

19


Enhance Code Inspector with:

Superior integration with ABAP Workbench (even ABAP in Eclipse) and Software Lifecycle (Change Request)

Landscape awareness that support result distribution from QAS to DEV Superior User Interface that supports filters and statistics Re-check Powerful out-of-the box exemptions workflow (“4 eyes”) that helps conveniently

suppressing “false-positives” findings Ten time faster scanning engine thanks to the ABAP Parallel Processing Customizable “Messages” priority

ABAP Test Cockpit - Integration in Lifecycle Management

All configuration and settings about ABAP Test Cockpit are accessible via the

transaction code ATC

21

ABAP Test Cockpit is integrated in transaction /nSE80, SE38, SE37 …

Developers can execute ATC Inspections as much time as they like

contextually with their workflow process


22

ABAP Test Cockpit is integrated in transaction /nSE80 - Repository Browser

Developers can execute ATC Inspections on the selected set of objects (e.g.

Package)


Drag and Drop to add object!

23


Developers can access by a specific perspective all the ATC runs done and

can browse the results in detail.

24

ABAP Test Cockpit is integrated in transaction /nSE80 – Transport Organizer

Before releasing to QAS or just to monitor the deliverables, Team Leaders and

Project Managers can execute ATC Inspections on the selected Change Request


25

ABAP Test Cockpit is integrated in ABAP in Eclipse (ADT) too


26

ABAP Test Cockpit results are well presented to the developer

Doctor ZedGe Hard!Code(Community Edition)

28


Doctor ZedGe - Hard!CodeA free tool to improve your Custom ABAP Code and save money during your next rollouts. It’s a new rule plugged into the Code Inspector to find hard code business values.

InstallationAvailable free-of-charge and installable via Copy & Paste

into SAP ECC 6.0 EhP6 or aboveSCN Blogs

STOP filling your ABAP with Business hard codingDoctor ZedGe - Hard!Code- a free Code Inspector rule

29

The unique static code check developed by Techedge highlights usage of

Business related Hard-coding

Doctor ZedGe - Hard!Code– a new rule plugged into the Scan Engine

Hard Code Company Code

Company Code related hard code value not found in company code matser data, so they could be partial string(«IT*»)

30

SAP standard never uses business related Hard-coding, customers does even

too much. Probably SAP does not image how much this “Anti-pattern” is

popular and dangerous, we do !


31

METHOD busab_mandatory applies a specific business rule for the hard-coded

set of company codes

Who will remember to add the company code of the next roll-out?

How much debug, and how many Change Requests and approvals will be required?


32

METHOD address_controls_in applies a specific business rule company codes

starting with IN (India ?)

Who will remember to add the next Indian company ?

Doctor ZedGeA new product that enhance ABAP Test Cockpit presenting results in beautiful and simply MS Excel reports designed for different PERSONA and adding Indexes like Quality and Maintainability.

InstallationStarting from SAP ECC 6.0 EhP 6 (SAP BASIS 7.31 SP05)

Limited number of ABAP objects in the namespace Z3TG_DZG that can be imported in DEV and QAS via a simple Change

Request

36

Idea

Simplify ATC results!Combine metrics with violations to compute different ratios,

combine indicators via formulas

aggregate and generate nice looking dashboard

Doctor ZedGe - Analysis

Doctor ZedGe is specifically designed for real-life scenarios to assist the

different “Persona”

Developers

Team Leaders

Quality Assurance Managers

Project Managers

AMS

39


Queries developed by Techedge aggregates ATC raw data in the best format for

each “Persona” (Business Role)

40

Doctor ZedGe - Analysis [Persona: DEVELOPER]

For each processing block (e.g. FORM, METHOD, FUNCTION), the Software

Analytics can highlight number of statements, Maintainability Index and

Cyclomatic2 complexity index.

Developers are motivated to adopt modularization via refectory activities.

41






Maintainability IndexThe aim of the MI is to determine how easy it will be to maintain a particular body of code Designed at the University of Idaho in 1991 by Oman and Hagemeister and validated in the field by Hewlett Packard in a fairly extensive trial

𝑴𝑰 = 𝟏𝟕𝟏 − 𝟑, 𝟒𝟐 ln(𝑽) − 𝟎, 𝟐𝟑𝑮 − 𝟏𝟔, 𝟐 ln(𝑳𝑶𝑪)

V = Halstead Volume

G = Cyclomatic Complexity

LOC = count of source Lines Of Code (SLOC)

42






Cyclomatic ComplexityCyclomatic complexity (or conditional complexity) is a software metric (measurement). It was developed by Thomas J. McCabe, Sr. in 1976 and is used to indicate the complexity of a program. It directly measures:• the number of linearly independent paths through a program's

source code.• the number of test cases that are necessary to cover all path

43

Doctor ZedGe – Analysis [Persona: PM, TEAM LEADER]

With ATC runs against Change Requests, Team Leaders and Project managers

can monitor real progress (number of objects) and investigate about exceptions

(e.g. higher MI, Cyclomatic2, lineCount - lower English comments ratio – any

quality or metric Indexes)

44


Here how Change Requests to be approved by PM, QM and AMS look like

45


Here how Change Requests to be approved by PM, QM and AMS look like

46

Doctor ZedGe – Analysis [Persona: SYSTEM OWNER, QUALITY MANAGER]

System owner, can weekly (at the CAB) discuss about trends impacting custom

ABAP quality and in case launch new initiatives to address exceptions

AFTER

BEFORE

Periodic external certifications can be very useful to

audit behaviors of the different internal teams as

well as those of the different suppliers

47

Doctor ZedGe – Analysis [Persona: AMS OWNER]

During Hand-over and Knowledge Transfer (KT) phases, AMS owners can get a

clear picture of the incoming software metrics and violations figures running the

Techedge Software Analytics against the project Change Requests (or ChaRM

documents)

48

Marketing and Sales

Doctor ZedGe is used internally

in Techegede Group to prove the

quality of our projects and

solutions

49


Limitations of current release

Historical data are not stored and simple trend analysis are possible comparing

the weekly MS Excel reports

Integration with SAP Solution Manager ChaRM is productive on customer sites

but yet to be generalized

Integration with SAP Solution Manager CCLM is currently under evaluation

In add, since Doctor ZedGe - Hard!Code leverages the power of ABAP Test

Cockpit and Code Inspector, it also suffers of the same known limitations:

it works only on workbench objects belonging to a custom main object. It can analyze BADIs and Customer Exits (CMOD) but cannot analyze ABAP code contained in user-exits includes (es. SAPMV45A is a SAP standard object thus MV45FZ01 cannot be analyzed that as from Best Practices should just call custom Customer Exits FUNCTION MODULEs or custom BADIs)

it works on PROGRAMs (PROG), FUNCTION MODULEs (FUGR) and CLASSEs (CLASS) but not on SAPScripts and SMARTForms.
