Transform ABAP Development: You Test, Copilot Codes

Hey there,

You’ve already made strides writing your own ABAP‑Unit tests. That’s huge! Tests are the backbone of reliable code. Now let’s supercharge your workflow: you write the tests, and ChatGPT helps you craft the business logic.

Celebrate Your Progress

You’ve proven you can define behaviour with tests. That “green bar” feeling? You own it. Every red‑to‑green cycle sharpens your instincts and builds confidence.

Why This Matters

• Creative Control: Crafting tests yourself ensures you capture the exact scenarios and edge cases you care about.

• AI as Co‑Pilot: Once your tests are in place, ChatGPT or Copilot can generate the method stubs and flesh out the logic, saving you boilerplate and typos.

• Speed + Accuracy: You retain design authority; AI handles repetitive implementation, letting you focus on domain complexity.

Your Micro‑Step for Today

1. “Generate an ABAP‑Unit test for a small requirement. If you do not have any idea where to start, check my free 3-day-TDD-challenge below.”

2. Implement the test by hand: Create the test class, define test data, and write your ASSERT statements.

3. Feed the prompt and your test class to ChatGPT or let Copilot suggest the code: Ask for an implementation of your business logic method.

4. Review and refine: Compare AI’s code to your expectations, adjust for business rules, then run your tests.

What If…

• What if every new feature started with you owning the test and AI delivering the first draft of logic?

• What if you could cut your logic‑writing time in half without losing precision?

That’s not hypothetical. I t’s what I and my coachees achieved last quarter. By combining handcrafted tests with AI‑driven implementations, we accelerated delivery by 35% while keeping bug rates near zero.

Your Next Gentle Challenge

Tomorrow, extend your test with a negative‑quantity scenario or a maximum‑discount edge case. Then ask your ChatBot to update the logic. Run the full suite: another green bar, another confidence boost.

Happy ABAPing ✌️
