Exercise - Create a testing process

  • 5 minutes

This exercise is written to use the Cronus sample company from the US version of Business Central. You might need to make adjustments to the steps if you use the sample company from your country or region.

Scenario

In one of this module's demonstrations, we created a Custom Connector for your customization in Dynamics 365 Business Central -- BC Books. But so far, you haven't performed any tests. Before you start to use the connector in the production environment, you want to be sure the connector works properly and you need to provide a testing process for the Create action. If you didn't create the connector, you can use a different connector and follow these steps.
