Continuous service updates under Modern Lifecycle Policy and testing rigor using RSAT Regression Suite Automation Tool in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations One version - part II

In earlier blog we covered background of need for continuous testing in modern cloud lifecyle regime and setup needed at LCS BPM level.

In this blog we would cover the steps needed to configure your DevOps project.

First we need to enable test features in your in Azure DevOps / VSTS project.

You can start with a free trial or buy a paid one for Test Manager. Though the Test Manager Tool is free, but you do need Azure DevOps Test manager subscription licences, one per user to be able to use it.

One of the way we are covering in this blog is getting a trial 30 days license to start testing from DevOps marketplace. For this one needs to sign in to your DevOps and go to below link to get Test manager

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/azuredevops

• Select your organization to install this extension.

• After your extension finishes installing, go to your organization to use your extension.

 Refer https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/billing/try-additional-features-vs?view=azure-devops

Verify the below Test options are seen which means your DevOps project now has Test features enabled.

Next we need to create a test suite in Azure DevOps and add your test cases from LCS BPM

Create a test plan and test suite in Azure DevOps and follow below steps

• On the toolbar, select Test > Test Plans.
• In the left pane, select +, and then select Static suite.
• Enter a name for the suite.

Click Add existing and query the tag LCS:TestCases

Select the test case to view details and the attached XML file.

Once your DevOps Test plan and Test suite with Test cases is ready, it now time to download, install and configure RSAT.

Provide the your DevOps URL, access token, Test Plan, hostname (D365FO URL), hostname soap URL and admin user (O365) and test connection.

In next blog we would cover the execution of such test cases fro within RSAT.
