Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a TESTFIELD message readable for human beings?
I as a developer love those messages because they tell me what and where the problem is, but for users is kind of unreadable.
I suggest an overload for TESTFIELD method, something like:
Customer.TESTFIELD(Address,'The customer %1 needs to have populated field %2')
In bold, the new overload... we developers can throw the error message understandable for the user, and Microsoft should do a very serious revision on all error messages they through... Some of them are cryptographic.

Thank you for your feedback. It seems that requested feature has meanwhile been made available through ErrorInfo on the TestField method. <For more information, see: Record.TestField(Any, Code, ErrorInfo) Method - Business Central | Microsoft Learn.
