Problem
Manage, execute, and report on Dynamics AX test cases in Visual Studio 2010
![Page 4: Visual Studio 2010 Team System Capabilities with Dynamics AX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816119550346895dd0721d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Users & Use Cases• Primary User – VS Tester
• Works entirely in VS2010 & MTLM• Develops requirements & test cases• Executes test cases
• Secondary User – AX Developer• Works entirely in Dynamics AX• Develops code• Writes test cases
![Page 5: Visual Studio 2010 Team System Capabilities with Dynamics AX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816119550346895dd0721d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Assumptions• Tests formatted properly & fully functional in default
environment• VS2010 Ultimate & Dynamics AX being used• Using TFS as repository
Limitations• Restricted to use of VS2010, Dynamics AX & TFS• Must have functioning network access to TFS & Dynamics
AX• VS2010 unreleased – Little Documentation
![Page 6: Visual Studio 2010 Team System Capabilities with Dynamics AX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816119550346895dd0721d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Deliverables• A process to:
• Import Dynamics AX test case information into TFS• Retrieve test case information from TFS• Execute Dynamics AX Tests through VS2010• Report on Dynamics AX Tests run through VS2010
• A detailed tutorial illustrating how to perform the above process
![Page 7: Visual Studio 2010 Team System Capabilities with Dynamics AX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816119550346895dd0721d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
System Description
![Page 8: Visual Studio 2010 Team System Capabilities with Dynamics AX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816119550346895dd0721d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Functional Requirements1. Imported Test Case Information
• Provide details about which class/module AX test case belongs to• Provide metadata for each AX test case about method/function being
tested
2. Management• View wrapped AX test case names within MTLM• Choose AX test cases to run within MTLM
3. Execution• Takes no more than 10% longer than when run in Dynamics AX• AX test case results displayed in MTLM
4. Reporting• Display Error/Fail messages normally associated with test cases• Report Pass/Fails• Report number of test cases run
![Page 9: Visual Studio 2010 Team System Capabilities with Dynamics AX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816119550346895dd0721d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Non-Functional Requirements• Written in .NET managed code• Tutorials & documentation designed for ease of use• Applicable to any valid Dynamics AX Test cases• Varying levels of granularity – Project, Class, Method
![Page 10: Visual Studio 2010 Team System Capabilities with Dynamics AX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816119550346895dd0721d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Constraints• Deliverables small enough to be transferred through
Codeplex• Function on VS2010 compatible machine without
additional software• Cannot modify VS2010 or Dynamics AX
![Page 11: Visual Studio 2010 Team System Capabilities with Dynamics AX](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816119550346895dd0721d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
RisksRisk Likeliness Description Mitigation
Feature Creep Somewhat likelyA significant level of ambiguity is built into the project that can lead to more features being requested as we progress.
To avoid this, we need to define the scope in writing and only add to it if all tasks have been completed.
Insufficient knowledge of relevant technologies Somewhat likely
Because we are using technology that is both new to us and has versions that were just newly released, relevant information is tough to locate.
Use clients' knowledge and contacts to locate necessary information.
Hardware failure UnlikelyThe software will be developed on personal machines while TFS is located on a campus server.
Contact service center for immediate diagnosis and maintenance.
Access to required software unavailable
Somewhat unlikely
The speed with which we can acquire the necessary licenses is a concern due to the various software packages we require to complete the project.
Remain in contact with MSDNAA and Microsoft to inform them what we need and when we need it.
Trying to accomplish too much at once Somewhat likely Due to the ambiguity of the project there is a
potential to spread ourselves too thin. Approach each task separately
