Technical requirements

Before we delve into the practical examples of this chapter, it’s crucial to ensure that certain elements, as established in previous chapters, are in place:

• Test Engine executable: This should be already constructed on your local machine. The process of installing prerequisites, including the .NET Core SDK, and then compiling the Test Engine source code from GitHub, was covered in Chapter 6. Alternatively, you can use the new Power Platform CLI (pac cli), which we described in Chapter 7.
• Sample applications: The sample application from the Test Engine repository (PCFcomponent_1_0_0_3.zip) should be integrated into your Power Apps environment for PCF testing. This chapter also includes the procedure for creating a Canvas component before testing it. However, as an alternative, you can choose to download the sample solution from the corresponding chapter in this book’s GitHub repository.
