Abstract

Since the ABAP Unit Testing Framework is modeled on the xUnit testing design characteristics, it is capable of providing unit testing for the type of program design applicable to virtually all of the languages providing xUnit testing facilities, meaning it is quite capable of handling the unit testing requirements for components written using the object-oriented design model. It would hardly provide any value if that had been the extent of its capabilities due to the fact that most ABAP code was written well before the object-oriented design features had been introduced into the ABAP language. Fortunately for us, the ABAP Unit Testing Framework is capable of providing unit testing for ABAP components using a non-object-oriented program design as well. In this chapter, we will start at the beginning, first exploring how to apply ABAP Unit testing to legacy programs, working our way through the transformations and improvements implemented into the language until eventually reaching the point where we have become proficient writing unit tests for ABAP components written using either a procedural design or the object-oriented paradigm.
