Description

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.

Who is this book for?

Daniel Rimmelzwaan Feb 22, 2020

It's fitting that Luc wrote 'the book' on automated testing, since he's been teaching about testing for many years. As you read this book, you will start to realize that because testing is an integral part of the development process, and because Business Central provides us with the tools to automate it, it is a small step to make test development a mandatory part of your BC development.Clear explanations, clear exercises, with real world application of decades of experience. This book is a MUST read for all #MSDyn365BC developers.By the way, the 1 star review on the Packt website was about the ordering/delivery process, not the book itself.

Bartel de Leeuw Feb 24, 2020

I knew next to nothing about automated testing before I started on this book, and I needed to create a test project for the AppSource Marketplace. This book made it easy to complete the project, and I came away with an appreciation for the power of automated testing as well. Clearly written, with lots of examples. Thanks, Luc!

About the author

Luc van Vugt

In 1999, Luc van Vugt stepped into the Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) world, training many developers.

Since he left MS, he became an active community member with his blog, Dutch Dynamics Community and as conference speaker. He co-founded NAV Skills, supporting BC pros with workshops and webinars until 2019. He continues ever since with webinars under the flag of Areopa. For all this work, Luc has been awarded MS MVP since 2011.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
