Automated Testing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central - Second Edition: Efficiently automate test cases for faster development cycles with less

Key Features

• Leverage automated testing to advance over traditional manual testing methods
• Write, design, and implement automated tests
• Explore various testing frameworks and tools compatible with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Book 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.

This book will show you how to leverage the testing tools available in Dynamics 365 Business Central to perform automated testing. 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.

What you will learn

• Understand the why and when of automated testing
• Discover how test-driven development can help to improve automated testing
• Explore the six pillars of the Testability Framework of Business Central
• Design and write automated tests for Business Central
• Make use of standard automated tests and their helper libraries
• Understand the challenges in testing features that interact with the external world
• Integrate automated tests into your development practice

《書籍描述》

Dynamics 365 Business Central是微軟提供的基於雲端的SaaS ERP解決方案。隨著開發實踐變得更加正式，實施變更或新增功能不再像Dynamics 365 Business Central被稱為Navigator、Navision Financials或Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision時那麼簡單，對於測試自動化的需求也越來越高。

本書將向您展示如何利用Dynamics 365 Business Central中提供的測試工具進行自動化測試。從快速介紹自動化測試和測試驅動開發（TDD）開始，您將獲得Dynamics 365 Business Central中測試自動化的概述。然後，您將學習如何設計和構建自動化測試，並探索從需求到應用和測試代碼的進展方法。接下來，您將了解如何將自己的測試以及微軟的測試納入開發實踐中。第二版新增了三個章節，詳細介紹了如何構建複雜場景、編寫可測試代碼以及使用呼入和呼出調用測試流程。

通過閱讀本書，您將能夠為Microsoft Business Central撰寫自己的自動化測試。

In 1999, Luc van Vugt stepped into the Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) world, training many developers. After Microsoft acquired Navision, he joined their Dynamics localization team as tester and project lead, 6 years closely involved with all BC releases. Since he left MS, he became an active community member with his blog, Dutch Dynamics Community and as conference speaker. He co-founded NAV Skills, supporting BC pros with workshops and webinars until 2019. He continues ever since with webinars under the flag of Areopa. For all this work, Luc has been awarded MS MVP since 2011. In 2012, he started fluxxus.nl mainly focusing on BC development courses and workshops on test automation, on the latter a main driving force in the community.

1999年，Luc van Vugt進入了Dynamics 365 Business Central（BC）的世界，培訓了許多開發人員。在Microsoft收購Navision之後，他加入了他們的Dynamics本地化團隊，擔任測試人員和項目負責人，與所有BC版本密切合作了6年。自從離開微軟以來，他成為了一個活躍的社區成員，擁有自己的博客、荷蘭Dynamics社區和作為會議講者。他共同創辦了NAV Skills，為BC專業人士提供工作坊和網絡研討會，直到2019年。他自那時以來一直在Areopa旗下舉辦網絡研討會。由於這些工作，Luc自2011年起被授予MS MVP獎。2012年，他開始了fluxxus.nl，主要專注於BC開發課程和測試自動化工作坊，後者是社區的主要推動力。
