The document discusses managing custom code in SAP systems. It covers the reasons to control custom code, providing transparency into how much custom code exists, controlling custom code through its lifecycle, and optimizing custom code quality. It describes tools in SAP Solution Manager and standalone systems for custom code management, including Custom Code Lifecycle Management, ABAP Test Cockpit, SAP Coverage Analyzer, and SAP Code Inspector.

8. Custom Code Optimisation
• Metrics are Important
– Use the SAP Code Inspector (SCI) to generate code metrics
– Runs a set of “rules” across your code base
• Introduce a Quality Gate
– The Code Inspector can act as a quality gate by checking
objects on transport release.
