• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ABAP_TESTDOUBLE033 - &4 Double cannot be created for a STATIC class ?

  The SAP error message ABAP_TESTDOUBLE033 indicates that there is an attempt to create a double (test double) for a static class in ABAP, which is not allowed. This error typically arises in the context of unit testing when using the ABAP Unit framework.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  In ABAP, static classes (or static methods) are not designed to be instantiated or mocked. Test doubles (like mocks or stubs) are typically used to replace instances of classes during testing, but static classes do not have instances in the same way that instance classes do.
  The ABAP Unit framework does not support creating test doubles for static methods or classes, as they are bound to the class itself rather than an instance of the class.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Refactor the Code:
  
  If possible, refactor the static methods into instance methods. This allows you to create instances of the class and use test doubles
