When you execute automated tests of X++ code with SysTest, the test service (SysTestService class) gets called with some parameters, defined in SysTestRunnerSettings: You could, for example, set granularity to execute just unit tests and skip integration tests, or produce a trace file for diagnostics. You may want to use such parameters in automatic processes …
Acceptance Test Library (ATL) in F&O isn’t a new feature, but many people aren’t aware of it, therefore let me try to raise awareness a bit. ATL is used in automated tests written by developers and its purpose is to easily create test data and verify results. Here is an example of such a test: …
In my previous post on unit testing, I explained how to handle a few simple situations, nevertheless things often get more complicated. One such complication occurs if the class that you want to test uses other objects. It may be a problem for several reasons – it’s code that we don’t want to test in …
In the previous post, I talked about what unit testing is and how such tests should be designed. Let’s jump straight into X++ code this time. Unit tests are methods and we need a class to hold them. Such a container of test methods is called a test case and it’s simply a class extending …
I believe that unit testing is extremely important and that the lack of its adoption in Dynamics AX is a serious problem. One reason why people don’t write unit tests is that they don’t really know how. Let’s if I can help a little bit. My intention is neither to write a theoretical work nor …
