abap-unit-runner
An application job that runs and schedules ABAP Unit tests in SAP's ABAP Environment through the SAP_COM_0735 API, where the on-premise test runner has no SAP GUI to run from.
On-premise systems automate ABAP Unit test runs across packages with the RS_AUCV_RUNNER program, but that program needs the SAP GUI, which the ABAP Environment does not have. This project reimplements the runner as an application job that can be scheduled directly, calling the standard SAP_COM_0735 API to start test runs and collect their results. Setup requires configuring SAP_COM_0735 as an inbound communication scenario and creating a destination or communication arrangement with a user and password, before installing the components from the repository.

AUnit Runner for ABAP Environment
Introduction
On-premise, there is the RS_AUCV_RUNNER program for automating ABAP unit tests in order to regularly run the tests in packages. This program is also available in the ABAP environment, but due to the lack of access to the SAP GUI, it cannot be executed or scheduled.
The project provides the runner as an application job, which you can use to schedule it again. We use the standard API SAP_COM_0735 from SAP to start test runs in the system and receive the results.
Setup
For installation in the system, the service must be made available, which the software then consumes.
- Configure the Communication Scenario SAP_COM_0735 as Inbound in your Development System
- Create with the User/Password a Destination and/or Communication Arrangement
- Install the components from this repository
