Business value

As our partner community brings generative AI capabilities to market and matures their offerings, partners need new engineering tools and practices to help them succeed in the AI era. Data-driven test automation is vital to ensure AI systems are accurate against diverse inputs, preserve the trust and safety of our customers and their data, and are resilient to changes in AI model versions. The developer tools for Copilot in Business Central are an end-to-end toolkit covering development, deployment, administration, feedback loops, and now test automation.

Feature details

With this feature, you can:

• Author tests for your prompt dialogs using a familiar framework in AL and Visual Studio Code.
• Organize your test datasets based on purpose and prompt variations.
• Implement automated verification depending on your feature use case.
• Run tests as fully automated or semi-automated.

Initially, this feature launches as a PR on the Business Central BCApps repo on GitHub, which allows partners to review and try out the tool with their own Copilot features and provide feedback.
