Using the integration between impuls Check Tool and Microsoft Dynamics NAV, partners can quickly and easily identify errors or inconsistencies in their solutions, thereby reducing testing time and improving the overall look and feel of their customizations. When you create solutions in Microsoft Dynamics NAV for your customers, you want to be sure that the features blend both visually and programmatically with the rest of the application. No matter how much testing you do, you are certain to have errors and inconsistencies that are invisible to the eye but that nevertheless reduce the quality of the finished product, either through performance or usability. impuls Check Tool s ability to automatically examine the code, the object properties, and the user interface and produce a list of errors and warnings makes it an indispensable tool in polishing your development to produce the most professional result possible. impuls Check Tool s checking procedure and its associated features change the testing process from one of laboriously clicking and checking each object and property to a matter of simply running a batch job. The comprehensive list of errors and warnings gives developers a fuller understanding of how to make their solutions seamless parts of the entire Microsoft Dynamivs NAV application.

3 FACT SHEET impuls Check Tool for Microsoft Dynamics NAV The check process When checking your objects in impuls Check Tool, you have complete control over what gets checked, how it gets checked, and how you see the results. The check process is a batch job that examines each aspect of the objects that you specify. It uses a comprehensive rule set to produce a list of errors, warnings, and information messages regarding any problems or inconsistencies it finds. The process has several features that make the analysis and testing of your objects as easy as possible. Connection to the client When you run both impuls Check Tool and the Microsoft Dynamics NAV classic client at the same time, impuls Check Tool can directly access the objects in the Microsoft Dynamcis NAV database, allowing you to easily switch back and forth between the applications, make changes to your objects and immediately perform new checks without intermediate steps. If you want to work independently of Microsoft Dynamics NAV database, you can export the objects and work with them in impuls Check Tool as a text file. warnings, you can tell the program to either exclude the known issues from the results list or to simply mark them as known issues. Control over the criteria Before you check your objects, you can tell the program which areas you would like the program to check and how. You do this in the Check Objects Options window by turning on and off the various tests and specifying criteria as you choose. Check Objects window, general tab Known issues (function) When you have checked your objects once, you can export the results of the first check as a known issues file. When you later change the objects and would like to see whether there are any new errors or Check Objects window, options tab 2 3

4 Easy-to-use interface After you have run the check process, the gram displays the results in a table that operates much prolike a spreadsheet does, giving you a familiar interface for manipulating the data. The user interface has sorting, grouping and filtering functions so that you work with only the information you need, when you need it. Each error, warning, and information message contains extensive information describing where in the object the error was found as well as descriptive information regarding the error itself. The program also generates a complete log of summary information listing what tests were performed and how many errors were detected. In the Check Results window, the program uses colorcoded graphics to clearly show what types of messages the program has returned, from the more serious Error type, which should be urgently fixed, to the less serious Warning and Information types. Export function Once you have the results you need, you can export the error and warning messages in either an extensible markup language format (*.xml) or in Microsoft Excel format (*.xls).

5 FACT SHEET impuls Check Tool for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Multilanguage capability Microsoft Dynamics NAV uses multilanguage properties to fulfill language requirements in nearly all objects. Typically the source language in NAV objects is English and one or more additional languages each language with specific shortcuts and values. But how can you ensure that custom objects or properties have a language specific translation? impuls Check Tool not only checks multilanguage properties but also allows you to add or change the reporting language in the tool itself: Source languages A source language is the language in which the objects from Microsoft Dynamics NAV are written. For example, suppose your objects were written in a French version. When you set up impuls Check Tool, you have the opportunity to specify access keys and key words in different languages. In this case, the key words for yes and no would be oui and non. Then, when you check your objects in the program and specify the source language as French, the program can review the values in each property for the correct Yes and No values, as well as for the correct access keys. Reporting Language Translation window Reporting languages Not only you can check objects written in other languages, but you can also have the errors, warnings, and information messages produced by impuls Check Tool written in any language you choose. You do this by setting up translations of the standard messages. You can then specify in the program which language you would like to use for showing the messages. You also have the ability to export the messages in either the same or a different language altogether. Updates of the Rule Set Microsoft Dynamics NAV is constantly changing and new features and standards are added. The rule set that impuls Check Tool uses is also updated to keep up with these changes. Just download the latest version of impuls Check Tool to use the most current information possible. 4 5
