  The SAP error message OO659, which states "Activate test class include first," typically occurs in the context of ABAP Unit testing when you are trying to execute or activate a test class that has not been properly activated or has dependencies that are not yet activated.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Test Class: The test class or its associated includes have not been activated. In ABAP, all components must be activated before they can be executed.
  Dependencies: The test class may depend on other classes or includes that are also inactive.
  Transport Issues: If the code was transported from another system, it might not have been activated in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Test Class:
  
  Go to the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38 or SE80).
  Enter the name of the test class and check its status.
  If it is inactive, activate it by clicking on the "Activate" button (or using the shortcut Ctrl+F3).
  
  
  
  Check Includes:
  
  If the test class includes other includes, ensure that all of them are also activated.
  Navigate to each include and activate them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Review any dependencies that the test class may have. Ensure that all related classes, methods, and includes are activated.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the code was recently transported, ensure that the transport request was successfully imported and activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  Recheck the Test Class:
  
  After activation, try to run the test class again to see if the error persists.
