False-Positive: DB Access in UT

[lucasborin]

Check Name
Y_CHECK_DB_ACCESS_IN_UT

Actual Behavior
There are two classes. The first one prepares the CDS test environment (cl_cds_test_environment), and the second performs the CDS test inheriting from the first class. The Code Pal reports the second test class as it performs a SELECT in a CDS view.

Expected Behavior
The check should automatically exempt this case.

[lucasborin]

The Code Inspector does not provide the inherited class to perform the scan on its tokens. Should we skip inherited test classes?

[obr-sap]

Short-term, I'd second skipping inherited test classes. We're constantly confronted with this check's false negatives which undermines developer confidence/buy-in.

Mid-term, superclass information needs to be made available to code pal, as it forms the basis for several conceivable checks. For example, this check is very reasonable and definitely needs it.
