Start of this year we upgraded our NAV 2016 installation to NAV 2018 RTM. And February 26 we were live. It was a relative smooth and fast upgrade and we were quite pleased with it. We ran however into a couple of performance issues of which one them exposed itself…
More or less coincidentally I stumbled over the topic of this post a couple of weeks ago in my next endeavor to raise the success rate of the MS test suite on our solution. A task being picked up every once in while, next to all the normal work. The…
Tomorrow exactly one month ago I wrote this post, based on the update in a number of test codeunits in NAV 2018 CU3: Let's talk about Shared Fixture and how to profit from this with the Dynamics NAV Test Toolkit. Just now I finished upgrading our test code to NAV…
It’s been a while that I wrote on NAV and automated tests. In the meanwhile I have been teaching a lot all over Europe, and, yes, advocating test automation in NAV. And what did you do since my last post How-to: Run Standard Tests against Your Code? Did you dare…
The other day I wanted to get my local NAV 2018 installation fully working. Fully local, including VSCode. And … setup an extra database with its own service tier. In the end it was quite easy, not in the least to some very helpful resources (see below), but I ran…

Let’s confess before I start: getting standard tests to run against your code is by no means rocket science. However, I dare say many peers out there haven’t even touched the Test Toolkit, seemingly looking at it as an unbearable threshold. Too much work. Of no relevance to their code. Unknown…
With our upgrade to NAV 2016 from NAV 2009 R2 many new things came available to us at The Learning Network, formerly known as Van Dijk Educatie. Technical improvements like the performance of the service tier, which was one of the major reasons for wanting to leave behind NAV 2009….
Looking at this beautiful Spanish scenery, just before a nice early-morning dive into the swimming pool, a perfect moment to reply to your follow-up post on automated testing, Jan. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, Luc! I’ve definitely learned a thing or two, and I’m glad that…
Well, actually, Jan, everything you always wanted to know about automated testing in NAV and did ask me about. 😉 Thanx for starting this creative little experiment, allowing to elaborate somewhat more on some aspects of automated testing. Maybe needless to mention that my answers reflect my knowledge and experience and are…
