• Key Concepts: 
  Code coverage is a metric used to measure the amount of code that has been tested in an SAP system. It is used to identify areas of code that have not been tested and may contain errors or bugs. It is an important part of the quality assurance process for any SAP system.
  
  How to use it: 
  Code coverage can be measured using the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) component in SAP. This component provides a set of tools that can be used to measure the amount of code that has been tested in an SAP system. The results of the code coverage analysis can then be used to identify areas of code that need further testing or debugging.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When measuring code coverage, it is important to ensure that all relevant areas of code are tested. This includes both the source code and any associated objects such as function modules, classes, and programs. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all tests are performed with valid data and that all tests are documented for future reference.
