For a long while, ever since NAV 2016, the Test Tool has been part of the application, which is in a way is somewhat strange as a Test Tool is typically something you don’t want to be present in a production environment. Among other – more – important reasons, Microsoft…
Frost has hit the night. Sitting in our Finnish fireplace heated kitchen, looking at our garden wall, Wheather Report humming in the back, and having done my preps last week, I am ready to start writing another post on test automation. Being a protagonist of using standard tests and their…
In my post How-to: Create Notifications – Steps to Take I introduced a step-by-step recipe that can help you to efficiently create a (non-intrusive) notification. I gladly used the YouTube video Develop SAAS user experiences for Dynamics 365 Business Central by Daniel Rimmelzwaan to illustrate this. Doing this I stuck…
In a recent VSCode/AL update training the topic notifications, as part of SaaSifying your solution, was tackled.

Together with Global Mediator we start a series of blogposts about QA for Dynamics channel. The idea was born when both I and my Global Mediator friends came to the same conclusion: test automation is still not really taking off in the Dynamics NAV/BC world, let alone quality assurance. So…
If you read my book and want to confront me live, or too lazy to read it (yet) and want to hear me speaking or teaching, or you did not get to buy the book yet, you will have a number of chances to do so: May 18, 2019, 365…
You might not have noticed anything about it yet, but after 260 hours, spread over 5 months, of designing, coding, writing, and reviewing on my side, my first book, and the first book on test automation for Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Dynamics 365 Business Central has been released last week….
.. compared to non-UI, or so-called headless, testing. That was one of the major reasons that the testability framework was added to the Dynamics NAV platform back in 2009 by MS. It replaced its predecessor, the NAV Test Framework (NTF). NTF was a C# based test framework that allowed you…
