HOW TO use TestPage to test UI in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016

Demo script
Introduction
We have reintroduced a feature called Test Automation Suite, which can be used by partners for testing solutions
and implementations of customized products. Enhancement involves fixing repeatability that was missing in the
previous edition. It improves the partner’s efficiency by significant savings on manual testing. The Test
Automation Suite builds on top of the testability features which add test capabilities to the development
environment, the C/AL language, and the runtime platform.

Audience
The demonstrations in this document are intended for partner resources such as developers, and testers. It is intended
for everyone interested in shipping stable repeatable solutions.

Technology
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016

Demo preset configuration

To test the functionality in this demo scripts, we advise you to deploy a Virtual Machine with the latest version of
Microsoft Dynamics NAV from the Microsoft Azure Gallery. Deploying a virtual machine from the Azure gallery
can be done in few minutes.
To explore how to do so we advise you to review this video or pdf.

The majority of the demonstrations are completed in the security role of “System administrator.”

Demo instructions
The demonstration scenarios in this demo script do not require demo data preparation. Also, the scenarios are
dependent on each other. The demonstrations scenarios build on each other.
To speed up the entering of C/AL code use attached object in TXT format.
