Keep on handling different projects because of test automation

Traditional Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation partners typically have their hands full of customers with a one-off solution. And, due to this have dedicated teams or consultants taking care of these installations, testing is handled in close cooperation with the end-user with every test run putting a significant load on those involved. Imagine what it would mean to have an automated test collateral in place—how you would be able to keep on servicing those one-off projects as your business expands.

On any major development platform, such as Visual Studio, it has been common practice for a long time already that applications are delivered with test automation in place. Note that more and more customers are aware of these practices. And more and more, they will be asking you why you are not providing automated tests to their solution.

Each existing project is a threshold to take having a lot of functionality and no automated tests. In a lot of cases, the major part of the features used is standard Dynamics 365 Business Central functionality, and, for these, Microsoft has made their own tests available since version 2016. Altogether, over 21,000 tests have been made available for the latest version of Business Central. This is a humongous number, of which you might take advantage and make a relatively quick start on. We will discuss these tests and how you could get them running on any solution later.
