ABAP Test Double Framework
The test double framework delivered with the ABAP platform: CL_ABAP_TESTDOUBLE creates a double of a global interface or class, configures what each call answers, and verifies the calls made on it.
A unit test needs the depended-on components of the code under test replaced by something the test controls. CL_ABAP_TESTDOUBLE creates the double and takes over its calls: create makes it, configure_call sets the returning, exporting and changing parameters, the exceptions and the events for a method call, and verify_expectations checks the interactions, such as how often a method was called with given input parameters. Doubles are supported for global interfaces since SAP NetWeaver 7.4 SP9 and for global classes since AS ABAP 7.53. Nothing versions it independently and there is nothing to install: it is what the ABAP platform gives a test class.

Creates and configures the test doubles that replace the depended-on components of the code under test, and verifies the interactions on the double.
“Test doubles are used in unit test environments to replace depended-on components that are used by the methods being tested.”“Additionally, the framework provides functions for verifying any interactions on the double object, such as the number of times a method was called with specific input parameters.”“For creating a test double, use the CL_ABAP_TESTDOUBLE class and call its static methods create , configure_call , and verify_expectations in the test class.”“The output of a method call can be configured easily using the framework API. The values of returning, exporting and changing parameters, as well as any exceptions and events can be configured for each method call.”“The framework supports the creation of test doubles for global interfaces (since SAP NetWeaver 7.4 SP9) and global classes (since back-end version AS ABAP 7.53 ).”

Creates the doubles and intercepts the calls; this library adds the fluent configuration, the checks and the messages on top, and names the framework under Prerequisites.
“It is built on top of SAP's ABAP Test Double Framework (`CL_ABAP_TESTDOUBLE`): the framework
still creates the doubles and intercepts the calls, the library adds a fluent API to configure
and check them, and messages that say what went wrong and how to fix it.”“* ABAP Test Double Framework (`CL_ABAP_TESTDOUBLE`)”
