Posted on by Community Member

Can anyone point me in the direction to get good info or access to resources about how to get started with Test automation in Dynamics CRM? Our team is very new to test automation (or any automation for that matter!) and I'm finding it difficult to get information/resources on test automation in Dynamics CRM solutions. Thanks in advance!

Here are a couple videos I've done:

This one is just a comparison between FakeXrmEasy, and XrmUnitTest

And here is one on how to fake a particular call to CRM, while letting the others just flow through...

Hi Umi!

I'm Jordi the creator of #FakeXrmEasy. Apologies, just seeing your question now and I'm glad Phuoc actually recommended it already! Many thanks.

If it is useful, please have a look at this blog post which compares FakeXrmEasy against other .NET mocking frameworks

dynamicsvalue.com/.../fake-xrm-easy-versus-other-frameworks

That post explains the main 3 pilars which are:

1) Access to a IOrganizationService interface with already implemented mocks, in 1 single line of code.

2) Built-in, lightweight, blazing fast query engine which supports QueryByAttribute, QueryExpressions, LINQ, and FetchXml

3) Built-in CRM messages

Plus, and thanks to the many feedback from the community, with FakeXrmEasy you can also do Integration testing of backend code (plugins, codeactivities, web portals) via a new XrmRealContext class.

There are more details in the documentation page, with also get started videos:

dynamicsvalue.com/.../overview

The framework is also unit tested itself by more than 1800+ unit tests with a 90%ish code coverage. We are also working on a similar repository for client side unit testing.

If you have any questions please let me know via the contact page (dynamicsvalue.com/contact), we'd love some feedback! :)

PS: Many thanks to the community also involved in adding new features: Florian, Arjen, Phuoc, Rajyraman and many others!

Nice video! Although that one is from April and that was version 1.11 and we are on 1.18 right now. Loads of features changes in between! :)

Microsoft releases this open source Github repo to test 365 in April 2017.

It seems to be useful and with some tweaking I was able to use. it.

Cheers,
