Description

Dynamics 365 Business Central is a cloud-based SaaS ERP proposition from Microsoft. With development practices becoming more formal, implementing changes or new features is not as simple as it used to be back when Dynamics 365 Business Central was called Navigator, Navision Financials, or Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision, and the call for test automation is increasing.

Starting with a quick introduction to automated testing and test-driven development (TDD), you'll get an overview of test automation in Dynamics 365 Business Central. You'll then learn how to design and build automated tests and explore methods to progress from requirements to application and testing code. Next, you'll find out how you can incorporate your own as well as Microsoft tests into your development practice. With the addition of three new chapters, this second edition covers in detail how to construct complex scenarios, write testable code, and test processes with incoming and outgoing calls. By the end of this book, you'll be able to write your own automated tests for Microsoft Business Central.

I work as a (former NAV) BC Consultant with a lot of use cases for our Customers. That brings us quite hard job to be able effectively and efficiently deliver solution without a lot of bugs. Automated tests totally changed the way we work in the company, we are now able to delegate a lot of repetitive tasks to the automation itself.At the beginning - as I don't consider myself a programmer - it was quite difficult to understand all of it, but the time invested was well worth it. Luc Van Vugt is delivering incredible amount of knowledge in this book and I can't recommend this enough. Thank you for this.

I didn't own the first edition but I am glad I have the second edition. I like that this book covers in depth why automated testing should be used. It helps you understand how developing the muscle memory and skillset for Automated Testing is very beneficial for building quality software. Automated Testing is a must for app store extensions. Once you are convinced, the book dives into all you need. From basic to advanced, I do not remember anything being left out. After being in CAL/AL for so long, it is nice having a test suite and the book use it. For dislikes, there was not anything that came to mind. It is a heavy book, so some people may be intimidated. But we work in BC, when have we ever been intimidated? The devs say "every time Microsoft releases as new release :)". If you write test cases, then maybe we will be less scared when that happens.

Diving into automated testing in AL is a tough topic, but this practical book covers everything important, and still is easy to read.Provided you already are an experienced AL developer, just not yet capable of writing tests, you might even read through the book without practicing: the rich snippets and screenshots will still make you understand. I really appreciate that!Last but not least: With its clear structure, with a rich table of contents, the book will also serve well as a later source of reference when already writing your own tests.Chapeau!

As one of the technical reviewers of this book, I have been intimately involved in making this book happen. Luc did a fantastic job in writing a second edition of THE BOOK on automated testing in the BC world. It is quite literally almost twice the book, not just in page count but in the amount of information that is packed into this book.He took every piece of feedback that he received about the first edition into improving the basics. He expanded on some very important topics like TDD and test planning/design and added access to some tools that have been developed. If that wasn't enough, he added a handful of chapters to cover such things as re-using your tests, how to change the way you write code to enable automated testing, and how to address testing web services.This book is a must-have for every technical person in the BC world. If you already own the first edition of the book, you will get your money's worth out of the second edition. It is worth every single penny.

I was at complete entry level with automated testing. I particularly liked how the book removed that alienated feeling. The concepts are explained in a manner which felt reader friendly. Yes, you need some base line knowledge but given that I am not a pro developer it was pitched at the right level. I was a huge fan of the sample code. I learn best from examples and this was perfect for me.Did I dislike anything about the book? Not exclusively. It was more of a personal issue with the topic. Would I understand enough? Will I really use this in my day to day? I felt as though these questions are addressed once you progress with the first two chapters.

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.

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.
