Book Description

Dynamics 365 Business Central is the new cloud-based SaaS ERP proposition from Microsoft.

Our development practices are becoming more formal, and with this, the call for test automation is pressing on us.

We'll begin with a quick introduction to automated testing, followed by an overview of test automation in Dynamics 365 Business Central. Then you'll learn to design and build automated tests and we'll go through some efficient methods to get from requirements to application and testing code. Lastly, you'll learn to incorporate your own and Microsoft tests into your daily development practice.

By the end of the book, you'll be able to write your own automated tests for Dynamics 365 Business Central.
