Nowadays, Test Automation is the most important requirement for any company to check Quality assurance of their product or software. There are very few tools available for Test Automation of MS Dynamics CRM. In this blog, we are going to see how we can do Test Automation using TypeScript Library (D365-UI-Test). It is the opensource library you can edit as per requirement and if any issue is present in the repo you can create an issue on Github Repo. Florian Krönert will resolve the issue as soon as possible. GitHub Repo Link: https://github.com/digitalFlow/D365-UI-Test Setup and Installation: We will use Visual Studio Code because it is a lightweight Code Editor with integrated Git support. And we will require git to clone directory, and we can do operation directly from the VS Code editor itself.   Installation Process: First, we will be required D365-UI-Test Source Files So, we need to clone that Repo from GitHub remote GitHub Repo to Local Machine in your working project directory. To open Terminal inside the VS Code use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + `   In terminal run following git command to clone the directory git clone https://github.com/DigitalFlow/D365-UI-Test.git Now after cloning the repo, we need to install the required Node Packages that are required to run the Project.   To Install the required Node Packages, navigate in the project directory in the VS Code and run the following command. npm install “npm install” command will install the required Node Packages with a specific version which will be defined in the “package.json” file. After the installation of all required packages.   Now, we can see the sample test cases written in the “TypeScript” in “spec” Folder. To write your own test cases we need to add our test cases and run the Project. Following is the Folder structure of the D365-UI-TEST Project you will get after setup:   In the above screenshot, you will able to see the “spec” folder, we can add our own Test Cases but there are some sample test cases available for the UCI “xrm-uci-ui-test.spec.ts” which is written in TypeScript.   Now, we must add the settings.txt file in the folder structure so that we can pass the CRM Login Credential to the Test Case File. Or else you can directory pass credential in the Test Case itself.   After Adding the setting file, we need to give the relative or absolute path of the Setting file as follows:     Following is a test case to login to CRM instance and created the Account Record:   To the Run the Open the Integrated Terminal to Visual Studio Code. OR Press Ctrl + ` And Run the following command: npm run test   It will run all the tests and show the result as to which test as passed and failed. If the test is failed, then it will show the error of why the test has failed.   Once the test is run from the terminal it will open the chromium-browser and start the test. You can see the Documentation of the Library in GitHub or in following mentioned link: https://digitalflow.github.io/D365-UI-Test/

Purpose The Regression suite automation tool (RSAT) significantly reduces the time and cost of user acceptance testing. This tool enables functional power users to record business tasks using the Finance and Operations Task recorder and convert these recordings into a suite of automated tests without the need to write source code. Test libraries are stored and distributed in Lifecycle Services (LCS) using the Business Process Modeler (BPM) libraries. These libraries are also fully integrated with Azure DevOps Services (Azure DevOps) for test execution, reporting and investigation. Test parameters are decoupled from test steps and stored in Microsoft Excel files. Prerequisites Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations test environment (Demo or tier 2 UAT environment Excel Azure DevOps: You will need an Azure DevOps Test Manager or Test Plans license. For example, if you have a Visual Studio Enterprise subscription, you already have a license to Test Plans. Pricing-https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/devops/azure-devops-services/ For a demo environment, you don’t need to buy any license. Authentication Certificate: To enable secure authentication, RSAT requires a certificate to be installed on the RSAT client computer. The RSAT settings dialog box allows you to automatically create and install the authentication certificate. Installation Download Regression Suite Automation Tool.msi to your machine RSAT requires Selenium and web browser driver libraries. RSAT will prompt you if needed libraries are missing and will automatically install them for you. Configuration For RSAT Open RSAT application. Select the Settings button in the upper right to configure RSAT. And next steps will help you to find those required fields input. Go to project settings of Lcs for your projects. Go to Visual Studio Team Services. Here you need to mention the Azure DevOps project in the Azure DevOps site URL field. In order to do that, click on https://www.visualstudio.com Open Azure DevOps and create a new organization if there is not an existing one. Now create a new project as shown below Now you need to set up a security token by clicking on  account info>security Once you create the token, save it as you will not be able to access it again when you want to use it. Once that is done, go back to the main page and create a new test plan. Name it as RSAT-TT (or you can use any name) Now right click on RSAT-TT and create a new suite you can name it ‘Demo’. Azure DevOps setup is done. In Azure DevOps site URL mention Organization name that you set up in Azure DevOps. And in Personal access token field paste the token that you had earlier saved. Click on continue to select the project and continue, Save. Now you need to deploy it to the environment Next, open the Regression Suite Automation Tool, Go to settings in Azure Dev Ops Url field copy it from the LCS Access token should be the security token you had copied. Click on Test connection so the Project name and Test plan will populate. Now run VM. You will find Hostname and SOAP Hostname by going to IIS and then right-clicking on AOSService>Edit bindings. Copy both the Hostname and in Hostname and SOAP Hostname fields paste these values Admin username should be the username you use to login to your environment. To generate Thumbprint click on New and save at any location and then copy the generated certificate to the VM Open the copied certificate and install it to the local machine at personal and Trusted Root Certification Authorities locations.Now Open the wif file in admin mode in notepad from the given location of VM In wif file find CN name=127.0.0.1 exists or not. If not, copy the selected portion and paste it below the same authority block. Now add modify those lines as follows: <authority name=”CN=127.0.0.1″>             <keys>               <add thumbprint=”F46D2F16C0FA0EEB5FD414AEC43962AF939BD89A”/>             </keys>             <validIssuers>             <add name=”127.0.0.1″ />             </validIssuers>             </authority>  ( Note: Add thumbprint of installed Certificate in wif as shown)   Final steps include Copy thumbprint from RSAT settings (which was generated when you click on New) and paste it in wif file in your VM Then Mention the company name And Working directory Set default browser as internet explorer Save as and ok Next, Go to LCS open business process modeler and create a new Library Name it as RSAT, go to edit and rename the process as required and you may add a child node to it by clicking on the Add process.  Now go to Finance and operations, go to test recorder  Create recording by clicking on create a recording and perform the operation and then click on the stop button. Name it as per your need then Save it to Lifecycle services or Save this to PC option. Click ok Now go back to LCS in the project library and click on the requirement, tab check it’s syncing  Now Sync test cases and VSTS sync Next, go to Visual studio DevOps, test cases, click on Add existing Then click on the run query and click on Add test case  Now go to regression suite automation and load the test and download test cases. select test and click on new and generate test execution parameter files Then click on edit option for the older version to edit values in excel For older version For newer version Now edit metadata for the test in excel file and save and close Now Run the test after this step, automatic session for the test is handled by selenium where the browser will perform steps as test cases Then run the test and after it’s completed successfully click on upload (Note the result as passed)
