Nav 2018 Automated Testing License

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

What is the minimum license needed to access the automated testing page and features. For instance, I'd need access to page 130401 in order to make use of the test toolkit. Would the Application Builder granule be enough? Can anyone verify their answer from experience?

I'm currently developing for Nav 2018 on-prem... just in case the licensing works out differently per version.

    Thank you, Duilio. I just verified you are correct by signing up for BC in the cloud. I have access to the page by default! Microsoft also offers a free extension (Test Runner) to enhance this feature. I was already planning to upgrade to BC. I just need to convert some old CAL customizations to AL, and I was putting it off. This has reinforced the need to convert them sooner rather than later, so I can go to BC. Thank you for the advice!

    Strictly speaking, this doesn't answer the original question, and one day someone may genuinely need the answer. However, the advice does work for me, and I am going to follow it. Thanks again!

    NAV 2018 do have really a short lifecycle that would expire in January 2023.

    You could purchase application builder and solution developer granules (and spend quite a lot of money) to make use of the old C/AL test toolkit but I would say this is a pure waste of money.

    With Dynamics 365 BC and AL development this is free of charge and you can develop your automated tests even with customer licenses.

    In my humble opinion, it worth sparing all the money that you would like to invest in creating C/AL automated tests for a version close to be discontinued (windows client is already deprecated, fyi) and use them in upgrading to the latest version.

    You will gain more feature, more robustness, a modern client approach, longer lifecycle... and so on
