The ABAP Code Quality Assistant is an intelligent system designed to enhance and optimize ABAP code within SAP environments. It performs real-time code quality assessments by analyzing code against SAP's established performance guidelines and best practices. The system identifies deprecated functions and suggests modern ABAP alternatives, with a particular focus on evaluating custom Z-programs and modifications. By leveraging SAP's historical code patterns, it provides automated documentation for custom developments and ensures code optimizations align with SAP's clean code guidelines.

This assistant significantly reduces the time developers spend on code review and optimization, potentially saving hours of manual code analysis per project. It helps prevent performance issues before they occur by catching deprecated functions and suggesting better alternatives, which can lead to improved system performance and reduced maintenance costs. The automated documentation feature ensures consistent and up-to-date documentation, which is crucial for knowledge transfer and future maintenance, potentially reducing documentation time by 50-70%.

The estimate assumes that the development team has existing experience with SAP AI Core and Joule Studio's low-code environment. It presumes that SAP development tools and necessary permissions are already set up and configured correctly. The estimate also assumes familiarity with ABAP programming standards and SAP's clean code guidelines, as well as access to SAP's code pattern database for reference.
