  To use Coverage Analyzer, developers must first enable the tool in their ABAP system. This can be done by selecting the “Enable Coverage Analyzer” option in the ABAP Runtime Environment settings.

  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Coverage Analyzer, it is important to remember that it only provides a graphical representation of the code coverage of an ABAP program. It does not provide any information about the quality or correctness of the code itself. Therefore, developers should always use other tools such as static code analysis and unit testing to ensure that their code is of high quality.
