Functionality Testing Using B1 Test Composer Tool

Question

Hi,
I would like to use B1 TC for functional testing of our add-ons. Will it be possible for me to do the functional testing(add-on's expected against add-on's actual) of the add-on using B1 TC? Could anyone explain with some examples so that I can start with B1 TC.
Our add-on has a window that allows the user to filter and display BPs in the matrix. User can select a Payment Term from the drop down and click Refresh button. Then the BPs with matching payment term should be listed in the matrix/gird. Here I want to check whether the BPs listed is correct. How can I use B1 Test Composer to do this?
Regards,
Sam

Hi Johan,
Thanks for the response. Let me explain the scenario to be tested using B1 TC in detail. The Payment Term combo in our add-on's Payment Term Update Utility form will list the payment terms ZPNET30, NET30, -Cash Basic’ etc. On selecting one of these values (say NET30), the matrix in the form is expected to list only those BPs with matching payment term(NET30). Here I need to ensure that all the BPs listed here are having the same payment term as ‘NET30’.
While recording this action using B1 TC, let us assume that the BPs listed in the matrix are as in the below image.
But when I rerun the B1 TC script at some later time, the BPs list might vary because of addition of new BPs to the database or changing of payment term of the existing BPs. In this instance, the Compare Matrix function of B1 TC fails, as the expected matrix values are not the same when we re-run the script. But all the BPs listed will have the matching payment term(NET30). So B1 TC reports a bug even if the functioning of the add-on is correct.
When I manually do the testing, I apply the filter and then load each of the BP Master Data to check whether the payment term matches the selected one in the form. Then I will change and update the payment term of the existing BP or add new BPs and again performs the filtering to check whether the search result is correct. Is there a mechanism with B1 TC to handle such scenario, like accessing each individual rows/cells of the matrix/grid and check the payment term of the BPs listed?
