Hello, I work on the subject of automation tests on dynamics ax 7. So I contact you to ask for help, because in fact I want to use the Selenium tool, and I don't find many supports that will help me, so if you can offer me some documents, tutorials ... I will be very grateful. Thanks

    Are you aware of the fact that performance tests generated from task guides in AX 7 already use Selenium under the hood? You can utilize the same SDK that Microsoft uses for these tests and build more logic on top of it, instead of using pure Selenium and likely building again pieces that Microsoft has already written.

    Yes, of course. Did you see the link I gave you above?

    And there is also a framework for unit testing.

    So I'm a student in the 2nd year of master, and I'm in a period of internship, and I just started working on dynamics ax.

    So it's been two months that I'm looking for documentations about, and I didn't do anything concrete, so can you offer me the steps I must follow to make automation on dynamics 365, because I'm really lost.

    I'm not sure what you need from us. The steps you're asking for are explained in the document I gave you in my first reply; there is even a video showing the steps. Please take a look at it.

    Hello,

    I'm working on the tutorial that you recommended, I added the selenium reference to my project, I generated the certificate and modified in the CloudEnvironment.Config file and in wif.config. and afterwards I created the solution. and when I ran the test, these errors are displayed:

    Test Name: Purchase_order_creation
    Test FullName: MS.Dynamics.Performance.Application.TaskRecorder.Purchase_order_creationBase.Purchase_order_creation

    Didn't you forget to install the certificate?

    The error message says that the private key can't be found. Check again that you created and installed it correctly (on all machines where you want to use it), because something is wrong.
