ALM276 (Intermediate)	How to Find Waste in Custom Code	Years ago the strategy in implementation projects was to avoid (even to prohibit) modifications.

Writing tests early allows you to develop software with high quality from the beginning. This session will introduce you to the philosophy of "test driven development" and show you how it is supported in ABAP. You will learn how to write unit tests with ABAP Unit, when to write unit tests (test first, test early, bug fixing tests, learning tests, etc.), how to keep your tests vital over time, how to use test coverage tools to find gaps in your test suite, how writing tests early can improve the design of your software, how unit tests can be used to document your code, and how to test your own code in isolation, independent of foreign code.

PMC213 (Intermediate)	Reduce SAP NetWeaver PI's Mapping and Integration Efforts Significantly	The implementation of B2B scenarios using SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI) is a lengthy and resource intensive process. The majority of the investment centers on the mapping, integration, and testing of interfaces. The investment is not driven by a lack of graphical mapping tools or the technical mapping process. Rather, it is driven by the tedious analysis and comparison of the different structures, the poor quality of the underlying semantics, and the requisite negotiation and mediation between the trading partners due to different business and system requirements. Warp 10 addresses these issues by enabling a common understanding of the structures through the development, application, and reuse of common semantic models.
