Discussion Topic

Title:
Low Code Power Platform Testing

Description

Overview:

This article is intended as a starter for discussion and contains content that is under development. It is based on experiences from teams like the Power CAT Engineering team as they apply low code testing principles to the low code Power Platform solutions they build and maintain. Ideally, this discussion serves as a great starting point to foster collaboration and gain input to help shape low code automation and engineering excellence in the wider low code Power Platform community.

Details:

Low code Power Platform testing can be a crucial aspect of the development lifecycle, especially in today's fast-paced software development environment. It allows developers to create and execute tests with minimal hand-coding, making it accessible to both novice and experienced developers. The benefits include faster test creation, easier maintenance, and the ability to involve a broader range of team members in the testing process. However, the extent of testing required depends on the solution's scope and impact.

Key Questions

1. What are the key considerations when determining the level of testing required for different types of Power Platform solutions?
2. How can we effectively integrate low code testing tools with CI/CD pipelines to ensure continuous testing and deployment?
3. What are the best practices for creating and managing test cases within the Power Apps Test engine?
