Data-driven tests can also run through the AL tool and the AL MCP.

Status evidence

  • Nothing said about status; launch event convention: generally available unless stated otherwise.

Where they talk about it

Quotes

  • 3:56 "This is not yet using these new capabilities which means that you are not able to run these from Visual Studio Code." - A limitation: AI Test Toolkit data-driven tests do not yet work in VS Code.

Documented features match

  • Run AL tests from command-line and CI/CD workflows - medium confidence (llm). Docs say: General availability, roadmap id 573334. ALTool test running
  • Product documentation (partial, the article describes the broader feature or mentions this in passing): Develop AL extensions with ALTool, checked 2026-10-02. The runtests command runs AL test codeunits from the command line without the MCP server. Note: Wave 2 content. Data-driven tests are documented separately (TestDataSource attribute); no article states that runtests or the AL MCP runs each data case.

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
