Mastering Business Central Page Scripting Tool
Testing in Business Central just got significantly more powerful, and the Page Scripting Tool is at the centre of it. If you are serious about automated acceptance testing, CI/CD pipelines or quality assurance in Business Central projects, this is the session that gets you up to speed fast.
In this 90-minute expert session, Microsoft MVP and MCT Berny Düring takes you from a proper introduction to the tool all the way through to real-world best practices, the latest updates in version 25 and the troubleshooting knowledge that only comes from field experience.
Berny covers YAML scripting from the ground up, showing you how to generate, modify and parameterise scripts so they are flexible and reusable across different scenarios. He then builds on that foundation with test suite construction, real-world use cases and hard-won lessons from actual implementations, the kind of insight you simply do not get from reading documentation.
Stop testing manually what a well-built script can handle for you.
