04/28/2022, 6:01 PMIf you're using NFT, writing unit tests is for scripts manipulating records is easier since you can use basic object stubs for testing rather than mocking tons of NS record apis.

04/28/2022, 6:03 PMDumb question, what is "NFT" in this context? I only know NFT as Non-fungible tokens. We are using visual studio as our IDE.

04/28/2022, 6:05 PM'functional' is ambiguous, unless you mean higher level functionality (aka integration/e2e)

04/28/2022, 6:07 PMWow, thanks for the pointer on NFT! I was not aware of that.
In regards to 'functional testing', to clarify, we have quite a number of SS 2.x library calls which we'd like a test suite for. So, a test tool which can easily mock data and test each of those functions would be a fantastic starting point.
