Proving Nothing Regressed In An ERP Migration

A reference design for software-led ECC→S/4HANA ABAP transformation that proves equivalence by replaying real production data — so you can migrate the highest-variance code line and prove nothing regressed.

The proof

The number, kept honest.

Parity acceptancegate — reconciliation parity ≥99% on in-scope objects (design gate)
“No green,no ship” — branch-coverage gate before any code is accepted
Customer-owned handback— validated code returned via the customer’s own transport
Tamper-evident trail— append-only, attributable decision log
01

The challenge.

Every SAP customer must finish the ECC→S/4HANA migration before support ends, and custom-ABAP remediation is the most heavily-staffed, highest-variance part of it. The real risk isn’t writing new code — it’s proving the migrated code behaves exactly as the old code did. Brittle, manual remediation can’t prove equivalence at scale.

02

The approach.

  • Static anti-pattern detection across the ABAP estate, then a deterministic codemod core with a scoped LLM edge for the cases that genuinely need it — deterministic-first, LLM-second.

  • Prove equivalence by replaying historical production data: reconciliation parity plus branch-coverage acceptance gates (“no green, no ship”).

  • Hand validated code back through the customer’s own transport, with a tamper-evident, attributable decision trail for audit.

03

What shipped.

A reference architecture and engine design: anti-pattern detection, deterministic codemod core + scoped LLM edge, the replay-based parity and coverage gates, customer-transport handback, and the tamper-evident decision trail.
