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.

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...

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…

Luc van Vugt November 18, 2009 November 18, 2009BC 1

And that brings me to chapter 2. Maybe less exciting, but for sure even more fun than the preceding chapter if you didn’t know about it yet. Saves you a lot of time. One of the things I have always liked about NAV is the open source character of it. OK,…

And that leads me to one of the most rewarding things in live: sharing simple solutions. Like the next one. Typically one that probably dozens, no hundreds, of NAV pro’s and user know about and at the same time numerous people have never been aware of. Years ago when working…
