Discussion Topic

Title:
Data Simulation and Mocking in Low Code Solutions

Description

Overview:
This discussion aims to explore the concepts of data simulation and mocking in the context of low code solutions, particularly focusing on Power Fx commands for Dataverse calls, connectors, and workflows.

Details:
We will delve into the role of data simulation in testing low code solutions, compare it to the traditional concept of mocking, and discuss the pros, cons, and common pitfalls of mocking. Additionally, we will extend these concepts to Power Fx commands and discuss how they can be used to simulate various scenarios, including edge cases and exceptions.

Key Questions

1. How do you think data simulation enhances the testing process for low code solutions?
2. In what ways do you believe data simulation using Power Fx differs from the traditional concept of mocking?
3. What are the key advantages and disadvantages of using mocks in testing, in your experience?
