PROJECT PLAN Problem Users & Use Cases Assumptions Limitations Deliverables System Description Requirements Constraints Risks Milestones Resources Tasks

Problem Manage, execute, and report on Dynamics AX test cases in Visual Studio 2010

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

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

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

System Description

Functional Requirements 1. 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

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

Constraints Deliverables small enough to be transferred through Codeplex Function on VS2010 compatible machine without additional software Cannot modify VS2010 or Dynamics AX

Risks RiskLikelinessDescriptionMitigation Feature CreepSomewhat likely A 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 failureUnlikely The 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

Test Plan - Export Test FunctionTest NameTest DescriptionExpected Outcome TFS Test Case RetrivalValid Test Case A valid test case is retrieved from TFS The test case is shown in a list that the user can select from No Test Cases to Retrieve The TFS repository contains no test cases There are no test cases for the user to select, however, they can reenter another TFS repository Invalid TFS Server An invalid TFS repository is given by the user An error message is returned to the user (300) Invalid credentials for TFS The credentials for connecting to TFS are incorrect or lack permissions An error message is returned to the user (301)
