For those of you that are coding tests the concept of UI Handlers is probably a known fact. It’s one of the first technical things I explain in my test automation course and I call it the third pillar of the testability framework in Business Central. Each UI Handler type…
In chapter 6 of my book, on pages 109 and 110, the data model and business logic changes for the Lookup Value business case are listed and discussed. One way or another these changes are covered by most of the test examples worked on in the book. Accept for the two…
As I explain in my book with test example 8 in chapter 8, the testability framework – or actually the test toolkit – does not provide for layout testing, only dataset testing. Those who bought both the 1st and 2nd edition of my book might have noticed that the verification…
Time for another addendum to my book: simplifying API testing. In the first part of Chapter 13, Testing Incoming and Outgoing Calls, I discuss how you can go about testing incoming calls, i.e. calls to your APIs. In this I followed the approach by MS in testing their APIs: Set…
As promised in my first addendum post Addendum #01 – Scenario 0032 ‘Test that lookup value shows on standard Customer – List report’ I would pick up one-by-one the out-scoped issues logged on the GitHub repo accompanying the book. This one took a bit longer because of my needed Xmas…
Those who have already acquired my book and started to read might have discovered that there is a GitHub repo accompanying the book. They also might have seen that a number of out-scoped issues have been already listed. Issues I was going to handle after the book would be published….
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…
Overtime I have been advocating the use of the standard Business Central tests in various posts, webinars, conference presentations, and my book. IMHO this has been, and still, is an undervalued collection of over 22,000 automated tests that cover all functional areas. It’s a no brainer to let them run…
