For a long while, ever since NAV 2016, the Test Tool has been part of the application, which is in a way is somewhat strange as a Test Tool is typically something you don’t want to be present in a production environment. Among other – more – important reasons, Microsoft…
Frost has hit the night. Sitting in our Finnish fireplace heated kitchen, looking at our garden wall, Wheather Report humming in the back, and having done my preps last week, I am ready to start writing another post on test automation. Being a protagonist of using standard tests and their…
In my post How-to: Create Notifications – Steps to Take I introduced a step-by-step recipe that can help you to efficiently create a (non-intrusive) notification. I gladly used the YouTube video Develop SAAS user experiences for Dynamics 365 Business Central by Daniel Rimmelzwaan to illustrate this. Doing this I stuck…
In a recent VSCode/AL update training the topic notifications, as part of SaaSifying your solution, was tackled. After a short introduction of what these notifications (functionally) are about I explained and demoed how to develop them. Inviting the attendees thereafter to pose their questions, one of them, a seasoned C/SIDE…
Hang been working on a fully automated DTAP street for the past year using Azure DevOps, we are now getting in the phase of tightening the last nuts and bolts. This typically is about completing some part of the automation still, but mainly it’s about getting all the sources in…

More or less coincidentally I stumbled over the topic of this post a couple of weeks ago in my next endeavor to raise the success rate of the MS test suite on our solution. A task being picked up every once in while, next to all the normal work. The…
The other day I wanted to get my local NAV 2018 installation fully working. Fully local, including VSCode. And … setup an extra database with its own service tier. In the end it was quite easy, not in the least to some very helpful resources (see below), but I ran…
Let’s confess before I start: getting standard tests to run against your code is by no means rocket science. However, I dare say many peers out there haven’t even touched the Test Toolkit, seemingly looking at it as an unbearable threshold. Too much work. Of no relevance to their code. Unknown…
As you know my daily work is highly depending on Visual Studio Team Foundation Services, so when last week VS 2017 was released, I immediately installed it and continued my work as before. It's one of those great things of VS: a high up- and downward compatibility. It makes me…
