BizUnit - Framework for Automated Testing of Distributed Systems

New Post: Basic XmlValidationStep question

maakku — Fri, 17 May 2013 12:42:30 GMT

After checking the source code I don't think this is possible. ValidateXmlInstance is always called and it looks like this:

private XmlDocument ValidateXmlInstance(Stream data, Context context)
{

try
{
    var settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
    foreach (var xmlSchema in _xmlSchemas)
    {
        settings.Schemas.Add(xmlSchema.XmlSchemaNameSpace, xmlSchema.XmlSchemaPath);
    }
    settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;

    XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(data, settings);
    var document = new XmlDocument();
    document.Load(reader);

    var eventHandler = new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationEventHandler);

    document.Validate(eventHandler);

    return document;
}

As you can see, document.Validate is called even if no schemas were added to the validation step. If I understood correctly, the only way to go is to modify the source code.

I would also be interested to know if this is possible without modifying the BizUnit source code. It is often the case that third party cannot provide a schema but only an example file from which the schema is generated. This kind of schema is usually not very useful for validation, because schema generator cannot get the minOccurs, maxOccurs attributes right, for example.

New Post: Reading and Writing Context from inside a TestCase in C# Code

satya007satya — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:00:55 GMT

Thanks all, for this wonderful piece to test BizTalk Solution. I was wondering how to update a variable in Context from inside a test case after a teststep and read it before another teststep.

The scenario is same given in pdf getting started. The biggest question is where is code or some sample to do this ? My scenario is to check data in multiple tables based on foreign keys generated by the code and message id's. I cant find a way to access the Context Object to set and retrieve values before any test step. What I am missing here. Using C# not XAML.

This is caused by the schemalocation of your includes. I managed to reverse engineer the code to test a possible solution, now the project owner has to include it in the code.

This thread is also about this issue:

The Execute method will throw an exception even if the timeout has not been reached

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - An excellent test framework with lots of out of the box test steps and much extensibility in that you can easily create your own custom test steps to complement the out of the box steps. I'm a big fan.

There are some validation steps which are deprecated in 4.0 but very essential like Regex,binary validator

While I am testing the Biz-talk Map Xpath result is concatenating all the value of each element under the Schema.

The MSI is great, but NuGet would make some people's life a little easier.

New Post: UIAutomationSteps

JamesChapman — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:14:24 GMT

Hi,

Can anyone suggest any resources that might help explain how the UIAutomation Steps actually work?!

I'm trying to use the Storyboard Step with various Key Stroke actions, but without any form of documentation (that I'm aware of) this is proving difficult. At the moment I'm having to debug the code to understand how to configure the step - which is difficult when the code isn't commented and no unit tests are present.

Any resources, examples or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

James

New Post: Project status

fkuiper — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:55:51 GMT

Dear Kevin,

I was wondering what the status of this project is, looking at recent activity this project looks barely alive. The last release (4.0) is over a year old and contains a lot of steps that still need to be ported from the 3.0 version. Some comments below suggest work is still in progress, however the last signs of this are almost a year old (see: http://bizunit.codeplex.com/discussions/265174).

I personally submitted a patch September 2011 which - almost a year later - is still being evaluated and mine is not the only one... some patches are over 4 years in evaluation. If patches can't be used reject them, or if they are useful accept them. Leaving them for years without even a comment makes me wonder if contributions from the community are appreciated at all.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the time and effort that went in this project and I think this framework has all the potential of being a great thing! In fact we are actively investigating this framework as a serious candidate for all our automated distributed system testing in our company. It would be very helpful to know if we can expect updates or new versions in the (near) future or that we should consider this project as-is and build our own framework (which may get a flying start when we take the source code instead of starting from scratch).

Hope to hear from you!

Kind regards
Ferdinand
