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 #1 – a nice display of applying TDD’s 2nd rule

And at the same time I will show you the power of starting coding from specific and gradually moving to generic (and not...

Errata and Updates to my book and GitHub project (2nd edition)

Like any other kind of project writing and publishing a book never leads to a 100% flawless result, whatever the level of commitment and professionalism. My peers and I have spent so much time in getting things reviewed and modified. Alas, it might seem useless but of course isn’t. I am grateful we did catch...

You’re sitting in front of your computer doing one of your daily tasks in, let’s say NAV. But @*^%$#@$$!!!!, the darn system does not do what you expect it to. Just one of these days? Might be, but it seems to you the system is not just doing something different…

Luc van Vugt November 19, 2009 November 19, 2009BC 0

It must have been somewhere in 2006 that we started testing the Role Tailored Client (RTC) and I must confess it was very hard to love RTC. But they said it was going to be a great product and it was my job at MS to test. So I simply…
