Overview of this book

Dynamics 365 Business Central is a cloud-based SaaS ERP proposition from Microsoft. With development practices becoming more formal, implementing changes or new features is not as simple as it used to be back when Dynamics 365 Business Central was called Navigator, Navision Financials, or Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision, and the call for test automation is increasing. This book will show you how to leverage the testing tools available in Dynamics 365 Business Central to perform automated testing. Starting with a quick introduction to automated testing and test-driven development (TDD), you'll get an overview of test automation in Dynamics 365 Business Central. You'll then learn how to design and build automated tests and explore methods to progress from requirements to application and testing code. Next, you'll find out how you can incorporate your own as well as Microsoft tests into your development practice. With the addition of three new chapters, this second edition covers in detail how to construct complex scenarios, write testable code, and test processes with incoming and outgoing calls. By the end of this book, you'll be able to write your own automated tests for Microsoft Business Central.

Where TDD makes use of test automation, it's evidently not a synonym of test automation but a very powerful means to get test automation in place. TDD leads you step by step from a test list, reflecting the requirements, through coded tests to application code. The so-called red-green-refactor mantra describes these steps. We pointed out that TDD is also about taking small steps to get tests passing efficiently and effectively, by making use of the three modes of TDD: fake it, obvious implementation, and triangulation. After this introduction to TDD, we shed our light on using TDD in Business Central concluding, based on arguments and an example, that TDD indeed can be used in this context even though a number of hurdles might have to be crossed.

With this chapter, we conclude the first section of this book, in which we introduced you to test automation in general and the specific methodology called...
