  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING060 indicates that a test is optional but has not yet been defined. This message typically arises in the context of unit testing within the SAP environment, particularly when using the ABAP Unit framework.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Test Definition: The error occurs when a unit test is expected to be executed, but the test method or the test case has not been defined in the ABAP class.
  Optional Test: The test is marked as optional, meaning it is not mandatory for the execution of the program or class, but it is expected to be available for validation purposes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define the Test Method: If you intend to run the test, you need to create the test method in the ABAP class. This involves:
  
  Creating a method in your ABAP class that starts with the prefix test_.
  Implementing the logic for the test within this method.
  Ensuring that the method is properly annotated with the FOR TESTING keyword.
  
  
  
  Check Test Configuration: If the test is optional and you do not wish to define it, you can either:
  
  Ignore the test execution if it is not critical.
  Adjust your test suite or configuration to exclude this optional test if it is not needed.
  
  
  
  Refer to Documentation: For detailed guidance on how to implement unit tests in ABAP, refer to the SAP documentation or the specific guide mentioned in the error message ("Unit Test: HowTo"). This documentation will provide examples and best practices for defining and executing unit tests.
  
  
  Related Information:

  Test Execution: You can execute tests using transaction SE80 or SE24, or through the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your unit tests are properly defined and executed.
