Key Features
With SeaLights for ABAP, you gain access to a comprehensive suite of functionalities and features designed to provide deep insights into your SAP applications. Here's a quick guide to what's available and how to navigate the SeaLights UI to find your data:
SeaLights Dashboard
This is your starting point, offering a high-level summary of your application's quality.
Code Changes Coverage: Quickly see the percentage of changed code that is covered by tests. A low percentage here indicates high risk.
Untested Code Changes: Click through to view a detailed list of these changes.
Quality Gates: an immediate indication of your build's quality status, based on predefined thresholds.
Coverage Report: Detailed reports on test coverage across your ABAP code.
Test Optimization / Test Impact Analysis (TIA)
Precisely identifies the most relevant tests for your code changes, ensuring you run the smallest subset of tests without compromising quality.
Impacted Tests: View all ABAP code and non-code objects that have undergone changes and the specific SAP tests that SeaLights recommends running to cover these changes. This is based on analyzing the connection between code objects and tests.
Test Selection On/Off: Control the test selection for test runners, like Tosca.
Familiarize with Savings Breakdown: Pay close attention to the SAP-specific terminology and new views on the Savings Breakdown page to efficiently navigate your change data.
Test Gap Analysis (TGA) Report
Identifies accumulated coverage, highlights untested changes, and assesses critical risks within a specific context, whether that's a release, sprint, project, or any timeframe meaningful to your teams.
Coverage Trend Reports & Quality Analytics
Allows you to track your quality metrics and coverage evolution over time.
Coverage Trend Report: Monitor how your
Code Changes CoverageandOverall Code Coverageevolve over time for a single application. This helps you understand long-term quality trends and the effectiveness of your testing strategy.Group Coverage Trend Report: If you manage multiple interconnected SAP applications, use this report to track consolidated coverage trends across selected applications.
MVP Out of Scope / Limitations
Ignore / Include rules to define code scope, as well as code labels, are no supported on the backend side.
To make sure TIA's test recommendations are calculated and available, it is advisable to wait 5 minutes after importing a transport and before starting a test stage execution.
Importing numerous transports simultaneously will require processing time before the data is fully reflected in SeaLights. Allow approximately 2 minutes of processing per transport.
Moving CLAS/FUGR objects between packages will be identified as new objects.
Since only modifications are reported to SeaLights, the objects will still be considered as if they are on the original package (in addition to the new package), which mean the coverage will be reduced.
There will be no history of test to code map, meaning no tests will be recommended by the TIA for these objects on the next test stage cycle.
Transport Import During Test Stage: Do not import transports into SAP while a test stage is actively running and reporting coverage to SeaLights. Importing transports mid-run can lead to inaccurate coverage data being associated with the newest build, impacting quality metrics. Ensure all transport imports are completed before initiating a test stage.
