Visual Studio 2010 Team System Capabilities with Dynamics AX – Test Elements Ian Dallas Jacob Grimm Yuriy Gritsenko Matt Smith Advisor: Simanta Mitra Client: Shawn Hanson & Dave Froslie (Microsoft)

Problem Statement & Concept Diagram Create a way in which the Dynamics AX test cases can be managed and executed in Visual Studio 2010 Test & Lab Manager

System Decomposition

Test Case Migration Dynamics AX stores test cases in.xpo files that VS2010 cannot natively read. Test Case Migrator consists of: Existing migrator that exports.xpo files to.xls files Parses.xls files and creates links to test cases Use VS2010 importer to insert links into TFS If Migrator does not support information we need, enhancements will be needed

Running Dynamics AX Tests Visual Studio 2010 contains a generic test wrapper Use generic test wrapper to: Select imported test Run imported test o Passes the name of the test to AX executeable o Executable then runs the test  ax32.exe -t TestCaseName Parse & report on output

Parse & Report on Test Case Output Construct some form of parser that will: Read & Analyze test case results o Determine Pass/Fail/Not Run Retrieve error messages on cases that do not pass o Fails o Other error messages Accomplishable via VS2010 configuration or other scripting/coding o Need Dynamics AX to determine specifics

Test Plan Retains functionality on different supported platforms Successfully execute Dynamics AX test cases from within Visual Studio 2010 o Focus on boundary tests o Execute in take no more than 10% longer when run through VS2010 o Ensure non-existent.xpo files & test cases are handled properly

Current Status Acquired server Setup & configured TFS Working to acquire Dynamics AX 2009 Wrapping NUnit test cases to understand process To Do NUnit wrapping Test Case Migration Test Case Output Parsing
