Getting handed over the full text to your ConfirmHandler

For those of you that are coding tests the concept of UI Handlers is probably a known fact. It’s one of the first technical things I explain in my test automation course and I call it the third pillar of the testability framework in Business Central. Each UI Handler type has a specific signature and...

Addendum #05 – Include Lookup Value in Restore Archived Sales Document feature

In chapter 6 of my book, on pages 109 and 110, the data model and business logic changes for the Lookup Value business case are listed and discussed. One way or another these changes are covered by most of the test examples worked on in the book. Accept for the two following business rules that were...

Addendum #04 – Verifying the Report Dataset

As I explain in my book with test example 8 in chapter 8, the testability framework – or actually the test toolkit – does not provide for layout testing, only dataset testing. Those who bought both the 1st and 2nd edition of my book might have noticed that the verification part of this report test...

Addendum #03 – Simplifying API testing using basic authentication

Time for another addendum to my book: simplifying API testing. In the first part of Chapter 13, Testing Incoming and Outgoing Calls, I discuss how you can go about testing incoming calls, i.e. calls to your APIs. In this I followed the approach by MS in testing their APIs: Set up your Business Central environment...

From fresh to shared fixture #2 – a refactoring example

In the first post of this series I started with stating the intention that … I would like to display a very simple, though instructive, example of how easy refactoring works when you have both app and test code at your disposal. And that’s what I am going to do in this second post as...

How-to: Create a Workflow Template

Luc van Vugt December 27, 2015 December 27, 2015BC 1

One of the major additions to NAV 2016 is Workflow. Both technical and functional more than interesting to take a deep-dive in as me and my friend Arend-Jan Kauffmann did to prepare a What's New in 2016 workshop.

Even though today’s, Dutch climate seems to say something totally different, Christmas is on the verge. School vacation has started and so has mine. We would be traveling to the French Alps for a week of skiing. Too little snow keeps us home, unfortunately. But as our famous soccer philosopher,…

Luc van Vugt December 19, 2015 December 19, 2015BC 0

I believe many of us were positively surprised by the new C/AL Editor in NAV 2016. At the various conferences last fall it got the applause it deserved, even though it has some hiccups. Like not being able to use the Symbol Menu to paste functions, variables, etc. One of…
