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.

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!
