Business Central· Testing and UAT
Business Central testing and UAT
Testing shows that the configured Business Central runs the client's processes from end to end. In UAT, client users confirm it with their own data and their own roles. superglue's agent writes the test scripts from the signed requirements, runs the system tests in the sandbox, and tracks UAT results and defects with the client.
How this step works
What the agent does
- Writes test scripts per process from the requirements and the design.
- Runs system tests with test transactions in the sandbox, and records the results.
- Shares a UAT tracker with the client testers and collects their results.
- Links each defect to the requirement and the setting it affects.
What you decide and approve
- Which processes go through UAT, and who tests them.
- Which defects block go-live.
- When the client signs off UAT.
What the client gets
- Test scripts with the results of each run.
- A UAT sign-off per process.
What makes Business Central testing and UAT work
- 01
Test through to the ledger entries
Post each document and use Find entries to check the G/L accounts, dimensions and amounts it created. A document that posts can still post to the wrong account.
- 02
Test with the users' own permissions
Client users run acceptance tests with their real permission sets. A test run with SUPER hides missing permissions until go-live.
- 03
Record test scripts with page scripting
The page scripting tool records user steps in the web client and replays them. Recorded scripts make it fast to retest after a fix or an update.
- 04
Sort defects by where the fix goes
A setup defect is fixed in the configuration package, a data defect in the mapping, and a code defect in a new extension version. Retest each fix in the sandbox before sign-off.
Frequently asked questions
How do you test a Business Central implementation before go-live?
Test through to the ledger entries; Test with the users' own permissions; Record test scripts with page scripting; Sort defects by where the fix goes. The agent writes the scripts from the signed requirements and runs the system tests in the sandbox.
Do client testers need a superglue account?
No. The agent shares the UAT tracker as a link. Testers record their results there, and the agent sees them in the project.
How does superglue work with our consultants?
superglue works alongside your team. The agent takes on the repetitive work, such as reading documents, drafting, mapping, loading and reconciling. Your consultants keep the client relationship and the decisions, and they approve every change to a client system.
Can we use our own implementation method?
Yes. Write your firm's method as a playbook, and every consultant and every session follows it. The documents the agent produces carry your firm's branding.
Which systems can we migrate from into Business Central?
Common sources are Microsoft Dynamics GP, Dynamics NAV, QuickBooks, Sage 50 and spreadsheets. The agent also reads Excel, CSV and XML exports and most systems with an API or a database.
Is client data safe?
superglue holds a SOC 2 Type 2 report and works under GDPR. Credentials are encrypted with AES-256. On the Enterprise plan, superglue can run on your own infrastructure.
How do we start?
Start with one live Business Central project. Connect the client's systems, give the agent the statement of work, and run the first steps together with us.
