Challenges in SP2010 dev projects Many dependencies Code, Features, timer jobs Deployment is complex No native support for WSP rollback Challenging to unit test Still not much traction in SharePoint world?

Challenges in *large* SP2010 dev projects Tracking Hard to keep track of deployments/fixes Many developers = many deployments? Inefficiency Devs keeping environment up-to-date Inconsistent builds (or buildmaster bottleneck) Silly mistakes e.g. Incorrect versions Debug vs. Release mode Testing of actual WSPs Communication

Solution recipe Auto-compile of assemblies and build of WSPs Correct versions in source control Add a label in source control to help rollback Auto incrementing assembly version number Better tracking of deployments/fixes etc. Deployment of WSPs to remote SharePoint 2010 environment Test environment, not developer machine UI testing Build fails on UI test failure Developer notifications

Solution ingredients Skills TFS Team Build workflow (.Net 4.0) “Good enough” PowerShell “Good enough” workflow (3.5 OK) TFS Team Build workflow (.Net 4.0) Specifies sequence of steps PowerShell Deploys WSPs, other deployment steps e.g. teardown/setup site PowerShell remoting (preferred over PsExec) Allows PS on SharePoint box to be called from build server Invoke-Command -ComputerName “foo” { script }

Build definition Customize workflow Styles: What’s the trigger? Manual, Scheduled (e.g. nightly), every check-in, Rolling builds etc. Customize workflow Mandatory for SharePoint builds Several workflows OOB DefaultProcessTemplate, LabProcessTemplate “Rebuild everything” Suits pre-live “Build current sprint against production state” Suits post-live

Coded UI tests – an introduction Recorded on test agent desktop Support: browser (inc. AJAX), Silverlight, WPF, forms apps Generate code which can be modified (e.g. to pass data) Point and click to add assertions E.g. navigate to web part gallery, check web part present

Integrating coded UI tests into build Call all test types from command line with MSTest.exe Unit tests, Coded UI tests, Load tests, Etc. Team Build ships with MSTest WF activity (wrapper) Preferred – edit workflow to move test logic block to *after* WSP deployment Ensure test assemblies are deployed (i.e. include in build)

Collecting system/event log data Why stop at UI testing? Code analysis Unit tests SPDispose Check Load tests Video recordings Collecting system/event log data

Best practices Start on day 0 of project Retro-fitting can be expensive Get fast feedback - have a lightweight/quick build run on check-in Compile all projects/build WSPs Suggestion - every SharePoint project should do this much Increment assembly versions (FileVersion) with label generated by build Leverage UI testing (with or without automated builds)
