What is test group in SAP BC-ABA - ABAP Runtime Environment?

SAP Term: test group

• Component: BC-ABA

• Component Name: ABAP Runtime Environment

• Description: Test group is a term used by the ABAP Coverage Analyzer transaction SCOV. A test group is a collection of 0 or more users in an ABAP Web AS. The Coverage Analyzer stores the code coverage statistics generated by these users separately, so that these records can be viewed in isolation from other code coverage statistics. The Coverage Analyzer can also reset the statistics generated by the users in a test group without affecting other code coverage statistics in the ABAP Web AS. Test groups are useful for tracking and analyzing the code coverage generated by a particular development project or software component. For example, a quality assurance manager might want to register the test users in his system to a particular test group. With the test group, the QA manager can view the code coverage generated by tests in isolation. The manager need not worry that the code coverage results will be artificially inflated by the activities of other users in the QA system.
