If you care about quality, velocity, and building solutions that don’t break the moment you look away, this session is absolutely for you.
If you’ve known Luc for a while, you know he's been living and breathing test automation in Business Central for years. And honestly? He's never seen our landscape shift as fast as it is right now. With AI accelerating development, release cycles tightening, and integrations becoming more complex, solid test automation isn’t just “nice to have” anymore—it’s the only way to keep delivering quality at the speed our customers expect.
That’s exactly why Luc is excited to present this session together with Nikola Kukrika, Artur Ventsel, and Thomas Pedersen from Microsoft. They will walk you through the latest improvements in the Business Central test automation toolbox—updates that substantially change how we build, validate, and ship - and show how AI is changing the game. You'll see how both a partner and Microsoft look at these.
So, what will be on the agenda? A lot. What exactly? Let’s be honest: with the pace of change right now—especially with AI entering the picture—some might have evolved before June. That’s part of the fun. I’ll make sure the session reflects the latest reality when we get to Antwerp.
They’d love to see you there and share what’s coming next.
