.Automated Testing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

By: Luc van Vugt

Overview of this book

Dynamics 365 Business Central is the new cloud-based SaaS ERP proposition from Microsoft. It’s not as simple as it used to be way back when it was called Navigator, Navision Financials, or Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision. Our development practices are becoming more formal, and with this, the call for test automation is pressing on us. This book will teach you to leverage testing tools available with Dynamics 365 Business Central to perform automated testing. We’ll begin with a quick introduction to automated testing, followed by an overview of test automation in Dynamics 365 Business Central. Then you’ll learn to design and build automated tests and we’ll go through some efficient methods to get from requirements to application and testing code. Lastly, you’ll learn to incorporate your own and Microsoft tests into your daily development practice. By the end of the book, you’ll be able to write your own automated tests for Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Summary

In this chapter, we paid attention to a number of best practices on how to embed test automation in your daily development practice. Get your functional peers writing ATDD scenarios to make use of the Excel sheet discussed. Do not overload yourself and your team and take small steps. Use the test tool next to your development tools and keep the tests running. Automate your development processes including running your tests. And last but not least, test code is code, so maintain it as you maintain your application code.

We’re on the verge of the last chapter, Chapter 9, Getting Business Central Standard Tests Working on Your Code, in which we will have a closer look at the tests provided by Microsoft and how we could also integrate this humongous collateral of standard tests.
