Chapter 4: The Test Tools, Standard Tests, and Standard Test Libraries
With the previous chapter discussing the 5 pillars of the testability framework, the floor, as it were, was laid to start writing automated tests in Business Central. Ever since the introduction of the testability framework in NAV 2009 SP1, test automation has been a major part of Microsoft's work on Business Central. Not only getting automated tests in place, but also in providing a tool to run the tests and libraries with reusable helper functions to get test data set up. Using the testability framework, altogether Microsoft created a humongous set of automated tests to verify the standard application, a Test Tool feature to run the tests, and a vast number of test helper libraries to facilitate test data creation.
In this chapter, we will discuss the following topics in detail:
- Test tools
- Standard tests
- Test libraries
