Business value

This capability supports testing of Power Apps eliminating regressions, resulting in more robust applications with fewer bugs. The tests can be executed as part of the build pipelines making sure that problems never reach production.

Feature details

The test engine has been developed to a state where it can test canvas apps and model-driven apps from the Power Platform command line tool or directly from the application available as open source.

We have changed the authentication so it's up to date with current requirements. The test engine is built on an extensible platform that allows adding new features on top of what already exists. We're implementing new AI feature testing and other exciting features to come. All tests are expressed with Power Fx in YAML files, making the test engine the perfect vehicle for makers and pro-developers, who can also integrate with Playwright to author tests in C#. You'll find an extensive set of samples and documentation in the test engine GitHub repo and in Microsoft Learn articles.
