In this series of posts I would like to display a very simple, though instructive, example of how easy refactoring works when you have both app and test code at your disposal. And at the same time I will show you the power of starting coding from specific and gradually…
CODE COMPLETE! Yesss. This was waiting somewhat too long on my desk to be completed, but this morning I finally did: Extended Text on Assembly Documents. This example extends the standard Extended Text feature in Business Central to assembly documents. As with the previous two completed examples (Blocking Deletion of…
A couple of months ago I introduced here my GitHub project Test Automation Examples when I had just finished the first example as a spinoff of my new online course. And around that time I started with example 2. Test wise this one was a bit too ambitious and as a…
Over almost a decade I have been evangelizing test automation by blogging, presenting at various conferences and webinars, workshops, and, eventually last year, writing a book. People are picking up, but it’s clear there is still “a war to be won”. Testing, more specifically test automation, is too often considered…
If you read my book and want to confront me live, or too lazy to read it (yet) and want to hear me speaking or teaching, or you did not get to buy the book yet, you will have a number of chances to do so: May 18, 2019, 365…
You might not have noticed anything about it yet, but after 260 hours, spread over 5 months, of designing, coding, writing, and reviewing on my side, my first book, and the first book on test automation for Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Dynamics 365 Business Central has been released last week….
Ouch, keep on singing the RED/GREEN/REFACTOR mantra wasn't that easy the last couple of weeks preparing myself on my NAV Development with Team Foundation Server presentation. But that's past now and I can look forward again. I can go ahead again. Nothing to stop me from getting to GREEN … Nothing? Really…
All our tests successfully passed and now only one test remaining on our test list (test #4): # Description Status 1a Create PI (purchase invoice) with 1 line and check that total line amount is calculated right Complete 1b Create PI with 1 line, populate line amount with random value…
Getting our first two tests, test #1 and test #2, working (GREEN! … GREEN! … GREEN!), we successfully implemented the first part of our feature, i.e. the function CalcDocAmount, leaving us now with it's counterpart: the verification of the manually entered total amount of the document (invoice). # Description Status 1a Create…
Well, don't let us be distracted anymore. Our next test is awaiting us: Test #2. # Description Status 1a Create PI (purchase invoice) with 1 line and check that total line amount is calculated right Complete 1b Create PI with 1 line, populate line amount with random value and check…
