The document discusses ABAP static code analysis tools including the Code Inspector, ABAP Test Cockpit, and Doctor ZedGe. The Code Inspector and ABAP Test Cockpit are included in SAP and allow developers to check coding standards and identify issues during development. Doctor ZedGe is a free tool that enhances ABAP Test Cockpit by presenting results in Excel reports tailored for different roles. It computes quality indexes and aggregates data to provide dashboards and trend analysis for developers, team leaders, and managers.

Code Inspector
The 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
Installation
Included in SAP standard starting from SAP ECC 6.0 EhP 0
(SAP BASIS 7.0)

Code Inspector - Scan Engine
What to checkTransaction SCI
Main types of checks:
• 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 Parallel Processing

18. 18
ATC is integrated in the main development transaction (SE80, SE38, SE37), in
ABAP Workbeanch and in ABAP in Eclipse (ADT).
Developers can execute ATC Inspections as much time as they like
contextually with their workflow process

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.

Maintainability Index
The 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)

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.
Cyclomatic Complexity
Cyclomatic 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

37. 37
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)
