Provides
Custom controls and librariesUI5Custom controls and librariesExtending the set of controls an app is built from: a control of its own, a wrapper around a third-party widget, or an icon font registered with the framework, packaged so another app can reuse it. Distinct from [Web Components interop](capability:ui5-web-components), which brings in standard custom elements, and from [generators](capability:generators), which scaffold a control project rather than being one.GeneratorsUI5CAPABAPGeneratorsGetting from nothing to a project that runs, and from a project that runs to one that has the piece you just decided you need. Two different moments: the first is a one-time decision about layout, the second recurs for the life of the project.UI5 testingUI5UI5 testingProving a UI still works — unit tests over controllers and formatters, integration tests that drive real controls, and end-to-end runs against a served app.
Demonstrates
Build and dev-server toolingUI5Build and dev-server toolingServing an app locally and building it for deployment — proxying a backend, transpiling, bundling, and shaping the result for whatever will host it.UI5 testingUI5UI5 testingProving a UI still works — unit tests over controllers and formatters, integration tests that drive real controls, and end-to-end runs against a served app.
Contributes to
Agent access to your codeUI5CAPABAPBTPAgent 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.TypeScript supportUI5TypeScript supportWriting apps and libraries in TypeScript — the type definitions, the module syntax the loader expects, and the build step that gets from one to the other.

debug a CAP app with UI5 TypeScript UI component with VS Codedebug a CAP app with UI5 TypeScript UI component with VS CodeDebugging both runtimes at once — the CAP server and a UI5 component written in TypeScript, the latter stepped through in its own sources rather than in the transpiled output. Written when TypeScript for UI5 had just become possible, and the combination it sets up is the one CAP's app folder invites.published 2021-11-16

History
- wdio-ui5-serviceThe field held the package's own one-line blurb, which answers the one_line question and not this one. What decides whether this is the tool for a job is that the browser is real and the app is served elsewhere, and that the login is handled by configuration for the providers the documentation lists, with multi-factor authentication stated as unsupported.
- wdio-ui5-serviceThe authentication page states multi-factor authentication is not supported and why. That is a fact about the situation a reader is in, which is what this field is for.
- wdio-ui5-serviceThe edge cited the repository without a sentence. The level it answers, end to end, is the comparison the capability now declares, and it is the maintainer's own word for it.
- wdio-ui5-serviceThe documentation site SAP's own testing page links to as the wdi5 home page, and where the authentication and running pages read for this assessment are published.
