We Support Your Secure ABAP Development Lifecycle

Virtual Forge enables companies using SAP software to optimize the security and quality of their own ABAP code – extensively and efficiently.

We offer a broad portfolio of products and services, covering the entire development lifecycle. The basis for our offerings is the know-how we have been able to build up since 2001, by systematically conducting research and by working closely with SAP and SAP customers to ensure that our products and services offer real solutions for real problems.

ABAP Security Consulting

Our experts offer a broad variety of consulting services focusing on secure ABAP development:

  • Gap analyses on development process level
  • Analyses of application concepts and design
  • Security assessments and code reviews
  • Penetration tests
  • Error handling support

Project leads can integrate ABAP quality requirements into their request for proposal, right at the start of the procurement process, making them mandatory for applying vendors. With CodeProfiler, you can automatically check whether a vendor has fulfilled these requirements. This way, the project lead is always in full control of the vendor process, avoiding unexpected, time-consuming, and costly rework.

Development guidelines, trainings and test tools can improve your company's ABAP development process. Development guidelines and trainings raise your developers' learning curve, eliminating common mistakes in future projects. If you use CodeProfiler early on in the development or transport phase (TMS, ChaRM), you can ensure adherence to these development guidelines and transport only ABAP code that is free of known errors. This will not only lower the costs for corrections, it also actively eliminates risks that could endanger your go-live.

CodeProfiler delivers prompt, clear and precise evaluations of typical quality risks in ongoing and completed development projects. This includes code developed in-house as well as by external vendors, enabling you to assess and compare the quality and risks of these projects. CodeProfiler tests provide management with readily available, extremely high transparency regarding risk and quality, allowing for the effective control of corrective measures.

  • Auditors can use CodeProfiler to determine which technical errors in the code could lead to compliance violations. For example, they could find back doors in the code, allowing for unauthorized financial transactions.

  • CodeProfiler can also be used to determine the need for action in operative departments. Auditors can schedule regular code checks to ensure compliance to internal and external guidelines and regulations.

Vendors can check their application for security and quality flaws before it is shipped to the customer, ensuring product quality and protecting their reputation.

 

Hosting providers can use CodeProfiler to guarantee that the ABAP code of a hosted customer cannot access the business data of other hosted customers, protecting their systems' integrity and their customers' data.

SAP Partners offering certified ABAP solutions use the ABAP development guidelines and CodeProfiler to ensure highest quality standards for their products, starting with the development process. This effectively lowers development costs as well as the number of support messages – and it strengthens the partner's reputation.
