I have needed good test data in Business Central for many months, but I just haven't gotten around to finding a good import tool or writing code. There are several options, so I kept weighing the pros and cons of each, and sure enough, never chose one and still don't have a tool for creating reliable test data in Business Central.
In addition to not setting up a tool for test data, I also have not had the time to write any AL code. I've been busy with other things while our developer focuses on writing AL code, so the little bit of AL knowledge I had has been fading for months.
That is finally about to change. It's time for me to continue my AL code learning and create a "data generator" tool, so I'm going to combine both of those tasks into one project.
Introducing "Learning BC Development: Season 2"! (following the Learning BC Development From Scratch video series)
In this "season", I'm going to learn how to develop a test data generator for Business Central. I'm going to use the AL language to create custom windows and tables and codeunits as part of a custom Business Central application.
I don't really know what I'm doing or how I'm going to develop the application, but I'm going to give it a try and learn along the way.
