@CRMUG When to Run your Tests?  Run your Tests before you Check-In locally  Run your Tests as part of your Build  Consider using Gated Check-In Builds

@CRMUG Why Write Integration Tests?  Make sure Plug-ins & Custom Workflow Activities work within the CRM Environment  Make sure Deployment process works  Create Automated Tests that be re-run to detect Integration Issues between different components in the same solution or other solutions

@CRMUG Continuous Integration  Create Automated Builds – Package CRM Components – Deploy CRM Components to Stage Environment – Run your Automated Test s to ensure quality – Release to next Environment
