Technical requirements

To replicate the examples in this book, you must download the corresponding files from the designated GitHub repositories. We will utilize the GitHub repository specifically created for this book at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Automate-Testing-for-Power-Apps/tree/main/chapter-03.

Access to a functioning Power Platform environment is necessary to use the provided examples or create new ones. The Power Platform developer environment appears to be the most suitable solution for this purpose, as presented earlier in this book. On the other hand, some examples will run without any dependencies. You will find an application in the repository called ConsoleREPL.exe that you can download and run with the examples that, due to the open source nature of Power Fx, will run with its own engine.
