One of the biggest challenges with custom functions is validation. is an open-source unit testing framework specifically designed for SAS. It allows you to create automated test suites for your FCMP functions, ensuring that a change in one part of your library doesn't break calculations elsewhere. In highly regulated industries like pharmaceuticals, this is a top-tier tool for maintaining GxP compliance.
While not a "software" tool in the traditional sense, specialized are the top way to handle function visibility. Using the OPTIONS CMPLIB= global statement effectively requires a toolset of auto-exec scripts that ensure the right function libraries are loaded into the right environments (Development vs. Production).
