This document discusses integration testing of plug-ins for Microsoft Dynamics CRM. It provides an overview of integration testing concepts and the plug-in pipeline. It also introduces the xRM Test Framework for automating integration tests of both synchronous and asynchronous plug-ins. The presentation includes demos of writing integration tests for synchronous and asynchronous plug-ins using the xRM Test Framework.

 This session will provide you with an Introduction to Integration
Testing concepts and best practices.
 We will look at the plug-in pipeline and see how you can apply the
concepts to write automated integration tests for both synchronous
and asynchronous plug-ins.
 This session will also introduce you to the xRM Test Framework and
show how you can speed up the creation of your tests.

Why Write Integration Tests?
 Make sure Plug-ins & Custom Workflow Activities
work within the CRM Environment
 Make sure Deployment process works
 Create Automated Tests that be re-run to detect
Integration Issues between different components
in the same solution or other solutions
