Getting started with Lab Management (Part 3)

Configuring the “system under test” in VS

The system under test for the purpose of this walkthrough is a simple calculator web service with its unit tests.

Start by creating a new team project in VS. Connect to the TFS server and create a team project (Labwalkthru). The solution is attached to the blog post.

Calculator app:

   1: using System.Web.Services;
  2: 
  3: [WebService(Namespace = "https://tempuri.org/")]
  4: [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
  5: public class CalculatorService : System.Web.Services.WebService
  6: {
  7:     public CalculatorService()
  8:     {
  9:     }
 10: 
 11:     [WebMethod]
 12:     public long Add(long lNum1, long lNum2)
 13:     {
 14:         return lNum1 + lNum2;
 15:     }
 16: 
 17:     [WebMethod]
 18:     public long Subtract(long lNum1, long lNum2)
 19:     {
 20:         return lNum1 - lNum2;
 21:     }
 22: 
 23:     [WebMethod]
 24:     public long Multiply(long lNum1, long lNum2)
 25:     {
 26:         return lNum1 * lNum2;
 27:     }
 28: 
 29:     [WebMethod]
 30:     public long Divide(long lNum1, long lNum2)
 31:     {
 32:         return lNum1 / lNum2;
 33:     }
 34: }

Test code:

   1: using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
  2: using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.Web;
  3: 
  4: namespace CalcTest
  5: {
  6:     /// <summary>
  7:     ///This is a test class for CalculatorServiceTest and is intended
  8:     ///to contain all CalculatorServiceTest Unit Tests

 10:     [TestClass()]
 11:     public class CalculatorServiceTest
 12:     {
 13:         private TestContext testContextInstance;
 14: 
 15:         /// <summary>
 16:         ///Gets or sets the test context which provides
 17:         ///information about and functionality for the current test run.
 18:         ///</summary>
 19:         public TestContext TestContext
 20:         {
 21:             get
 22:             {
 23:                 return testContextInstance;
 24:             }
 25:             set
 26:             {
 27:                 testContextInstance = value;
 28:             }

When extracting the solution from the zip file, you can extract the attached zip file and from an elevated command prompt

Add the solution to the Labwalkthru project in source control and build it. For running these tests in a remote lab environment, these tests to be part of the TCM in TFS. Import the test cases to TCM by using the tcm command.

Create the rest of the Test assets:

We should provide the BVT experience a test suite to run, so launch the “Microsoft Test and Lab Manager” and connect to the project.

clip_image002

Create a test plan by clicking on Add

clip_image004

Let us call it “BVT tests” and select the “Select plan”

clip_image006

In the tests add the tests that we just imported

clip_image008

Create a Lab Environment for running the tests:

In MTLM, move from test center to Lab center.

image

Create a new virtual environment

clip_image012

and in the machine tab, select import

clip_image014

and import the prepared VM stored earlier

clip_image016

Finish the import and click Add to Environment, edit the role to be Web Server

clip_image018

Add “Run test” and “Run workflow” capabilities

clip_image020

and click the “Finish” button. This will create a test environment which can be used as part of the “build / deploy & test workflow”. At this point, lab will deploy the store environment in the library share to a hostgroup. This will take a bit of time to complete.

After the environment is up and running, you should see that the workflow capability and test capability are all ready in the environment.

clip_image022

In our case, on the environment, we are running web tests as NetworkService (the test agent is configured by default to run as networkservice). To run tests in ASP.NET, the user has to be administrator on the machine. So connect to the lab machine,

clip_image024

logon to the VM and add Networkservice as member of the administrators group and then reboot the machine.

 C:\> net localgroup administrators /add "NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" 

Reboot the machine to allow for this to take effect.

When the tests run, you would want to restore the environment to a clean snapshot. Take the snapshot, by clicking on the “Take Snapshot” icon.

clip_image026

Let us call the Snapshot, “CleanCP”

Create test settings for the automated run:

Create a new test setting and set the test run to automated.

clip_image028

In the Roles tab, select the web server role (VM1) to be the role where tests are run. This is needed in case where your environment has multiple roles, you can pick the right role where the tests get run.

clip_image030

And finish.

In the next blog post, we will connect all the dots to execute the test runs as part of the development workflow.
