AI-Assisted Development Scenarios

Candidates will be assessed on their ability to apply and critically challenge AI coding assistance across the following three project scenarios. For each, the developer is expected to drive outcomes, not just accept suggestions.

Scenario 1 — Greenfield Development from Scratch

• Starting from a functional specification with no existing codebase, the developer uses an AI assistant to generate and refine a complete S/4HANA artefact (e.g. a RAP business object, an OData service, or a Fiori Elements app).

• Critically review AI-generated code for correctness, SAP naming conventions, security risks, and alignment with the Clean Core principle before accepting any suggestion

• Iterate prompt engineering to progressively refine output quality — adjusting scope, adding SAP-specific constraints (e.g. “use draft handling, implement validations on SAVE”), and evaluating multiple AI proposals side-by-side

• Use AI to auto-generate ABAP unit test stubs, then validate and complete them with domain knowledge the AI cannot infer from context alone

• Document decisions where AI output was overridden and articulate the reasoning — demonstrating judgment over blind acceptance

Scenario 2 — Legacy ECC Code Refactoring

• Given existing SAP ECC ABAP code (classical reports, function group logic, module pools, or custom Z-programs), the developer uses AI assistance to understand, modernise, and migrate it to S/4HANA-compatible, Cloud-ready artefacts.

• Challenge AI-generated rewrites by verifying that business logic equivalence is preserved — especially for custom logic in user exits, BADIs, and enhancement spots that may not be captured in the AI’s training context

• Guide the AI to convert classic SELECT statements to CDS views and Open SQL best practices, then validate execution plans and performance on SAP HANA using EXPLAIN PLAN and runtime analysis

• Identify and escalate cases where AI refactoring suggestions introduce regressions or misinterpret implicit ECC customising, demonstrating that human oversight remains non-negotiable in brownfield migrations

• Leverage ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) checks alongside AI suggestions to produce a clean, extensibility-compliant codebase ready for S/4HANA Public Cloud deployment

Scenario 3 — Test-Phase Bug Triage & AI-Assisted Fix

• During SIT, UAT, or regression testing, defects are raised with varying levels of detail. The developer uses AI assistance to accelerate root-cause analysis and produce targeted, regression-safe fixes based on the bug description and code context.

• Compose a structured AI prompt combining the defect description, relevant code snippet, reproduction steps, and expected vs. actual behaviour to obtain a targeted root-cause hypothesis from the AI assistant

• Evaluate AI-proposed fixes against the broader codebase context — challenging suggestions that may solve the symptom but introduce side-effects in dependent RAP actions, CDS projections, or downstream Fiori bindings

• Use AI to auto-generate a regression test case covering the fixed code path and adjacent logic, then review it for completeness and add edge cases the AI did not anticipate (e.g. authority checks, Customising dependencies, fiscal year variants)

• Handle ambiguous or poorly written defect tickets by prompting the AI to suggest clarifying questions, then align with the tester before committing a fix — avoiding rework caused by misinterpreted acceptance criteria

• Maintain a fix log enriched with AI interaction notes (prompts used, suggestions accepted/rejected, rationale) as part of the transport documentation, supporting auditability and knowledge transfer
