Documentation

Definition

ABAP units can run tests in various different run modes:

• In a new external mode
• In a separate internal mode
• In a separate internal mode with runtime proctection
• In the same mode

In a new external mode

ABAP Unit runs the unit tests in a second work process. If runtime monitoring is active, tests that exceed the time limit terminate with an error. Technically, this is implemented using asynchronous RFC.

In a separate internal mode

The test runs in its own internal mode (using a submit). If runtime monitoring is active, tests that exceed the time limit cause an error in the runtime log. However, the test gets not terminated.

In a separate internal mode with runtime protection

In addition to the separate internal mode, ABAP runtime abortions do not terminate the test task; instead, an entry is made in the error log.

In the same mode

For ABAP Unit Framework selftests only
