We’ll be adding support for more controls soon, as well as new features to help you schedule your automated tests into your processes. This first version is focused on Canvas app tests and it currently supports the most popular controls used in apps. This gives you a great way to start creating tests and get acquainted with the syntax for the new test functions. As you interact with the app the test studio will generate the expressions that are used to perform that action. To help with creating the test steps or expressions that are needed to interact with the app, you can open an existing app in “recording mode”. When a test finishes you also have the option to persist the test results, such as whether the test passed or failed, how long the test took and any additional information generated by the test, to a data table, SharePoint or via a flow for example. For example, in your test you can fetch a record from a data source to validate whether the interaction with the app had the expected result. Those expressions use the same functions that can be used in apps, with the addition of new functions that were added for testing purposes.

Tests can also be run outside of the test studio in a web browser which allows you to build the automated tests into your app deployment processes.īut what is a test case? It’s simply a list of steps, which are expressions that can simulate interaction with the app and validate that the app is in an expected state after those interactions. Test Studio provides a way to add and manage test cases, organize them into test suites, and run them to validate that changes in the apps did not break the expected functionality described in the tests. As more and more apps are used in critical business processes, we need a way to ensure that changes to those apps do not make the app stop working, and we can do that with tests. I’m excited to announce a new tool, which is currently rolling out, to allow makers create and run tests for their applications.
