Summary

In this chapter, we dissected the process of applying testing concepts to planning a Power Apps development project. We delved into how the clear definition of an app aids in outlining testing activities, the influence of an organization’s maturity on planning, the transition from individual developers to fusion teams, and the advantages of test planning for users. By mastering these topics, you’ve gained a holistic understanding of how testing strategies guide app development, and how collaboration within a fusion team can amplify the project’s effectiveness.

As we advance, we will start Part 2 of this book, where we will deepen our exploration of Power Apps tools such as Test Studio and Test Engine. We will discuss how these capabilities can aid in optimizing the app development and testing phase, thus refining your project planning strategies even further.
