SAP Code Inspector: ABAP Code Quality Checks for SAP Development Teams

SAP Code Inspector is a built-in ABAP tool that enables developers and quality managers to check repository objects for code quality, security vulnerabilities, and performance issues. SAPinsider covers how SAP development and QA teams use Code Inspector and its successor, the ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC), to enforce clean code standards and prepare custom code for SAP S/4HANA migrations.

What Is SAP Code Inspector?

SAP Code Inspector is a tool in the ABAP Workbench that runs a set of checks against ABAP repository objects to identify issues such as syntax errors, performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and migration blockers. Developers can use it for ad hoc inspections or define reusable personal checks; quality managers can create public, reusable inspections and manage exception approvals. ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) is the successor of Code Inspector and is recommended for SAP S/4HANA and modern development environments.
