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 👏

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!
