This book is a fantastic guide for learning about the different options available today to test Power Apps. The book is well structured and it progressively takes you on a journey from the fundamental concepts of testing to the most advanced techniques.The books helped me to understand how Playwright, Test Engine and Power FX are connected and they can be used to mock Power Apps connectors and automate your tests in Azure DevOps and GitHub. I love the practical approach taken by the authors based on real and relevant examples.Congratulations to César, Carlos and Packt team for putting together this great book 👏

I strongly recommend this book to both professionals that are looking to hone their skills in the Power Platform and those that are pursuing additional associate/expert certifications in the Power Platform! This guide was an immense amount of help to me!

Having used PowerApps and PAD for the last few years it is great to see the process and principles put into a great book as well as illustrating the agile testing mindset and the importance of using PAD for the actual testing of an App.I think the step by step approach shown in the book is great for any developer or tester to get the foundations right for good solid performance testing and better solutions management.I liked the coverage of the Process Monitor and analytics and code review area is great for building those teams who can collaborate on joint engagements.Good overview of Power Fx which as it states embraces the Excel formula language.Overall I am very impressed and will purchase the hard copy for my library.

I gained early access to this wonderful book through Packt and it was an absolute delight.Working in enterprise level SaaS application development we had struggled with some of the testing elements around our Power Platfor products, constantly pondering how we automate it more without committing far to much time to building a bespoke process.Well this book covers almost everything you need to know! It us very well written, comprehensive and eloquent to read. The authors do a fantastic job at explaining not only the process but what it provides you in an easy to digest manner. It sped up our internal transformation with regards to automated testing and is now a continual reference source for new and emerging projects that buck the normal trend.I highly recommend this book to any SaaS testing team, the principles are universally applicable. If your output is Power Platform related then this is a must read, for organisations big and small.

This was a truly exciting and fascinating read. Brilliant work by César Calvo Cobo and Carlos de Huerta Mezquita! From the humble beginnings with citizen developer options in the Test Studio to the super savvy stuff with Test Engine and DevOps, we have it all here, and it's really right at the pulse and shows us the art of the possible. Even Power Automate Desktop, which is never invited to any parties, makes a shiny appearance! All made possible by the impressive depths of expertise from these 2 guys. A must have!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
