SAP Code Inspector
Code Inspector: Overview and Tutorials
What Is Code Inspector?
Code Inspector is a tool that can be used to check and control the quality of ABAP code. Code Inspector can be used to apply all of the tools provided by ABAP Workbench, at the same time.
The ABAP Workbench is a collection of tools that can be used to develop, test, and run ABAP programs.
Who Uses Code Inspector?
Developers and quality managers use Code Inspector.
A developer might use the Code Inspector tool to run a fast ad hoc inspection from ABAP Workbench or from the Code Inspector itself, or to define personal re-usable code inspections.
A quality manager might use Code Inspector to define public re-usable code inspections or approve or reject exceptions.
Code Inspector vs. ABAP Test Cockpit
ABAP Test Cockpit is the successor of Code Inspector. Conversations on SAP’s Community Wiki recommend that ABAP Test Cockpit be used instead of Code Inspector.
ABAP Test Cockpit delivers custom-code analysis in the ABAP programming language. It is used with SAP Business Suite, SAP NetWeaver, and SAP S/4HANA.

- Extra Li writes in a 2015 SAP Community blog, “Integrate ATC (ABAP Test Cockpit) or Code Inspector Check with ChaRM” that both Code Inspector and an ATC check can be triggered during a transport request and be integrated with ChaRM. But he says their behaviors will be different.
