Automated Testing in Business Central: The Modern Approach
Every AL developer knows they should be writing tests. Most do not write enough of them, and the reason is almost always the same: it takes too long, there is too much boilerplate and the return feels low compared to the effort. That calculation is changing. In this expert session, Microsoft MVP Tine Staric walks you through the latest innovations in Business Central testing practice that are making test automation faster, leaner and genuinely worth your time.
Tine covers two game-changing approaches: page scripting, which dramatically simplifies test automation through recorded interactions, and Test-Driven Testing, a new approach that lets a single AL test cover multiple test cases and cut the amount of code you need to write significantly. He also shows you how to integrate these modern practices with your existing test suite without throwing out what you already have.
Better coverage. Less code. No more excuses.
