Understanding the benefits of Test Engine

Among the many benefits, we will highlight the following:

• Making mock responses for connectors
• The Screenshot function
• Video recording

We will also see a short comparison between the different current possibilities of performing interface test automation in Power Apps, comparing Test Studio with Test Engine and Playwright, which is the engine on which Test Engine is based.

Connector mocking

Test Engine permits defining mock responses for connectors, enabling the evaluation of Power Apps in isolation from the external APIs it connects with.

This functionality can be advantageous while examining applications that access endpoints with side effects, allowing full unit testing—for example, calling an API to perform some operations in certain records. The mock responses are defined using the NetworkRequestMocks property, which includes the following fields: requestURL, responseDataFile, Method, Headers, and...
