Note

This PowerShell module is not really maintained as we are working on a VSCode extension with the same name. You can find its itHub project here. However, if the PowerShell module still makes sense to you - and thanx for using it - let know us by creating an issue with your business case in it.

ATDD.TestScriptor

The Acceptance Test-Driven Development test scriptor allows the user to define in a managed matter ATDD test scenarios and convert it into a code structure to facilitate fast test code development. At this moment this conversion is only implemented for .al.

The ATDD pattern is defined by so called tags:

• FEATURE: defines what feature(s) the test or collection of test cases is testing
• SCENARIO: defines for a single test the scenario being teste
• GIVEN: defines what data setup is needed; a test case can have multiple GIVEN tags when data setup is more complex
• WHEN: defines the action under test; each test case should have only one WHEN tag
• THEN: defines the result of the action, or more specifically the verification of the result; if multiple results apply, multiple THEN tags will be needed

Installation instructions

• to install for all users; requires prompt with admin privileges:
