Ax2012 Testing

Today I was just surfing internet and found one useful axapta functional testing solution from AXeptance company.
The solution is available in Ax2009,AX2012,Ax2012 R2.
Please have a look into the below youtube video, where u can find the demo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CWETXCz6tg

Intially it looks like a simple Task recorder functionality which is there in Ax2009 version.But I found that there are lots of things this tool is capturing while running the business process scenario.
1.Every step parameter values and type.
2.Skip the step.
3.Delay and add timer.
you can run the test script in different m/c or terminal and catch the log of the processes.

Microsoft Dynamics Ax automation testing.

In the Enum we have a property 'useenumvalue',it is used to reset the enum values which we changed in the element level.

BaseEnum1 useenumvalue No YES

--------Element1 default value 0 modified (0-250)
--------Element2 default value 1 modifed (0-250)
--------Element3 default value 2 modified (0-250)

Indicates that default EnumValue property values were modified if set to Yes. Resets the EnumValue property to default values if set to No.

Error : "The server-side impersonated (RunAs) session tried to invoke a method that is available for client-side processing only.

As we all know that in Ax2009 the batch runs on server side so when client is not open it will run on the backend side.But in Ax 4.0 it use to run on client side.Due to side while moving certain code (related to batch process)from Ax4.0 to Ax5.0 we have not modify the way of execution perfectly Due to that this kind of issue raised.
Solution:
1.To move the all batch process run on client side please do modification on \Classes\RunBaseBatch\runsImpersonated() make it false.
2.To move our reported batch process then over write the above method in our class.
3.At the runtime you can change the batch execution location by the backend
