The Microsoft "Application Test Library" offer on the AppSource marketplace

AppSource offer shows version 28.0.44467.0

I stumbed upon this new(?) Microsoft "Application Test Library" AppSource offer.
Will this mean that with BC 28.0 (2026W1) we can **finally** use the standard Microsoft test libraries for running unit tests in a BC online Sandbox environment? #msdyn365bc

Introducing AL Table Visualizer: An Interactive ER Diagram for Your Business Central Tables Visualize Business Central table relations in VS Code. AL Table Visualizer turns AL TableRelation properties into an interactive ER diagram with base app support.

In AL training, I see this all the time.

Syntax is not the hard part.
Understanding the Business Central data model is.

So I built a VS Code extension that visualizes table relations as an interactive ER diagram.

Did you notice? Already for quite some time, Microsoft AppSource has been rebranded as 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲. And now, also the technical docs for #msdyn365bc have been updated to reflect that change. Remember that the next time you search the docs :-)

PS: AppSourceCop is still AppSourceCop

For me it was like this:

I enrolled through the link, VivaEngage opened and at first I couldn't see the Microsoft in my networks, but after a refresh it appered there.
When I entered the Microsoft network no commuties were there though.
I think they will add them there soon?

Polishing xRechnung and ZUGFeRD in Business Central In the last few weeks, I’ve spent quite some time in the German e-invoicing corner of Business Central – specifically around the xRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats that Microsoft ships on top of the E-Documents framework. These formats are strategically important. With B2B e-invoicing becoming mandatory in Germany in phases from 2025 onwards, and formats like xRechnung and ZUGFeRD explicitly listed as compliant EN 16931 syntaxes, quality matters a lot more than “it usually works”.

Your Engage home network might display the missing BC community again - but that entry still links to the old URL, and no new one has been announced yet. We need to stay patient.
