Agent access to your codeABAPAgent access to your codeLetting a coding agent read the project or the system you actually have, reach its model, its objects and its checks, and act on it. In file-based environments that works out of the box; complex systems need dedicated access capabilities. Whatever the environment, the agent also needs project- and framework-specific context, so it understands the thing in front of it rather than guessing from what it remembers of its training data. The transport is incidental: an MCP server, a language server or a CLI answer the same question, and what differs between them is how much of the real thing the agent can see. Distinct from [MCP servers](capability:mcp-servers), which is a protocol adapter on your own running service, and from [agent guidance](capability:agent-guidance), which is knowledge handed over as files rather than read from the thing itself.Agent guidanceABAPAgent guidancePackaged knowledge you hand a coding agent so it gets a framework right unprompted — skills, rule files, instruction packs. Distinct from agent tooling, which is about building agentic features into your application, and from [agent access to your code](capability:agent-code-access), where the agent reads the real project instead of being handed a file about it.Browsing table dataABAPBrowsing table dataLooking at what a system holds while developing or supporting it: the rows behind a key, the reference data a field points at, the tables that carry data for one object. Editing configuration records through maintenance screens is a different job, even where the same transaction does both.Change promotionABAPChange promotionMoving a change through the environments of a landscape, from development through test to production, and knowing which change has reached which environment. A [CI/CD pipeline](capability:ci-cd) builds and tests on each source change, [deployment](capability:deployment) puts a build onto its runtime, and getting source into git is [source control](capability:abap-source-control).Code formattingABAPCode formattingMaking source match one layout — indentation, keyword case, the shape of a statement block — by rewriting it rather than by reporting on it. Distinct from [static analysis](capability:abap-static-analysis), which says what is wrong and leaves the source where it is.DebuggingABAPDebuggingSeeing what running code did between an input arriving and a result coming out: which code ran, what the values were at each point, and why a value ended up as it did.Editor supportABAPEditor supportWorking in source code with the editor helping rather than treating it as text — completion, go-to-definition, inline errors, refactoring and preview.Searching code in a systemABAPSearching code in a systemFinding where a string, pattern or name occurs across source code and development objects held in a system. Raising findings against rules is [static analysis](capability:abap-static-analysis); reading an individual change is [code review](capability:abap-code-review).Source controlABAPSource controlKeeping source code and development objects in version control, comparing their revisions, and moving them between development environments. Managed delivery of changes belongs to [transport management](capability:change-promotion).Static analysisABAPStatic analysisCatching problems in code before it runs: naming, obsolete statements, security findings, and compatibility with a target environment. Style linting, security scanning and cloud-readiness checks are often treated as one concern.Unit testingABAPUnit testingTesting application logic without a running business process — and the test doubles that make dependencies on the database and on framework services tractable.
