  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING059 indicates that a mandatory test is missing in the context of a development object, typically related to the unit testing of a program or function module. This error is often encountered when the system requires that certain tests be defined and executed before the object can be transported or activated.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system has been configured to enforce unit testing as part of the development process. If a developer has not created or assigned the necessary unit tests for a particular object, the system will raise this error to ensure that all code changes are adequately tested before they are moved to production.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to create or assign the required unit tests for the affected object. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Identify the Object: Determine which object (e.g., function module, class, method) is causing the error.
  
  
  Create Unit Tests:
  
  Go to the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE80 or SE38).

  Create a new unit test class or method if it does not exist.
  Implement the necessary test cases to cover the functionality of the object.
  
  
  
  Assign Unit Tests: If the unit tests are already created but not assigned, ensure that they are linked to the object correctly.
  
  
  Run Unit Tests: Execute the unit tests to verify that they pass successfully. This can usually be done through the ABAP Unit Test framework.
  
  
  Check Test Coverage: Ensure that the tests cover all critical paths and edge cases of the code.
  
  
  Transport Request: Once the tests are created and executed successfully, you can proceed with the transport request or activation of the object.
  
  
  Related Information:
