This e-learning course introduces ABAP Development Tools (ADT) and outlines how they help reduce build and deployment costs by modernizing ABAP development workflows.
ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse is a mature, efficient, and feature-rich development environment designed for all ABAP-based development tasks, especially within the ABAP Cloud development model. By moving away from traditional SAP GUI–based development, ABAP Development Tools enables faster development cycles, improved code quality, and better integration with modern development practices.
This course helps you get started with ABAP Development Tools and guides you in using its capabilities effectively in real-world ABAP projects.
Unit 1 introduces the fundamentals of ABAP Development Tools. You will learn how to install and configure ADT, understand its core concepts, and explore the key principles for using the tools efficiently.
Unit 2 focuses on advanced features such as quality assurance and debugging. It also highlights major enhancements across different ABAP releases and explains how common tasks traditionally performed in SE80 (Object Navigator) can be executed using ABAP Development Tools.
By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently use ABAP Development Tools to streamline development, improve productivity, and optimize build and deployment efforts.
