1. Automated Builds and Testing Wm. Barrett Simms FrontRunnerMD wbsimms@gmail.com 781.405.4686 Twitter : @wbsimms

2. Whoami – Past to Present  Systems Administrator  Linux – Solaris  Perl  Java .NET/C#  Agile Project Manager  I love what I do for work.

3. What you’ll learn  How I build software  How this helps teams  Techniques  Tools  Show a fairly complete approach

5.  Automated Build/Test Benefits ProcessPersonal MergingConfidence Onboarding employeesImproved skills Testing/QACollective Ownership CollaborationCommunication

7. Multiple Developers Main JoeSueTedJan

8. Dependent Projects Common Middle Layer Business Logic Code Smell: Shotgun Surgery!!

9. Database Changes JanBob Main

10. Branching and Merging Main Line Branch 1 Branch 2 ???

11. Mainline merge process Build/Test Dev branch Build/Test Mainline Merge Dev branch to Mainline Build/Test Mainline Check code into Mainline

12. Buildservers Developer merges to mainline Buildserver gets changes Buildserver builds, runs all tests and notifies team Test results are published to team and viewable by all.

13. Automated testing Unit tests = Quality Software

14. Typical bug velocity

15. Negative bug velocity

16. Common resistance  I can’t write unit tests because…  I have a UI  WaitN, QTP, Selenium  Fixing someone else’s poorly written code  Refactoring, training  I use a database  The tricky part.

17. Databases – The tricky part  Common Questions  How do I write unit tests when I require a database  How do I merge changes?  How do I add default/test data?  How do I update…  Buildserver  Production site(s)

18. A decent answer  Use SQL scripts!  Table  View  Procedures  Key and Constraints  Default Data  Test Data

19. My one slide solution  Automated Build Server  TFS  Auto Generate Database  DumpDatabase/CreateDatabase  Automated Testing  MSTest

20. Generating the scripts  DumpDatabaseToSql.exe  Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo

21. Generating the scripts (2)

22. Database Files  All schema files in revision control.

23. Creating the database

24. Another trick: Entity Framework  EdmGen2  http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/EdmGen2

25. Unit testing with the database  Boy Scout Rule  Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.  At least… leave it as you found it.

26. Finally… sort of…  Wrap it all up in a build script.  MSBuild, NAnt….  I’m using MSBuild…  But prefer NAnt.
