In 1999, Luc van Vugt stepped into the Dynamics 365 Business Central world, training hundreds of developers. After Microsoft acquired Navision, he joined Microsoft’s Dynamics localization team GDL as tester, UA specialist, and project lead. For 6 years, he was closely involved with all successive releases. Since he left Microsoft, he has become an active community member by means of his blog. He is co-founder of Dutch Dynamics Community and a speaker at conferences. For all his community work, Luc has been awarded MS MVP since 2011. In 2014, he co-founded NAV Skills, supporting Dynamics 365 Business Central, at that time still called Dynamics NAV, pros around the globe with, among other things, webinars until 2019. He continued ever since to organize webinars under the flag of Areopa webinars. In 2012, Luc started fluxxus.nl, doing miscellaneous projects, including Dynamics 365 Business Central development courses and workshops on design patterns, and automated testing. Luc is one of the main driving forces on test automation in the Dynamics 365 Business Central community.
Hosted session(s)
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.
GitHub Copilot is awesome. It helps you write code.
…but you already knew that.
What about everything around the code?
Requirements. Test plans. Code reviews. Documentation. Design notes.
All the parts of the development workflow that usually get rushed, postponed, or done “just enough.”
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how to use GitHub Copilot for exactly those non-coding tasks by working with custom agents, sub-agents, MCPs, and stored prompts.
We’ll cover:
You’ll leave with ready-to-use prompts and agent configurations that you can share with your team and apply to your own projects the very next day.
You’ve heard a lot about using AI to write code.
Join this workshop to learn how to use it for everything else.
