Creating a Build pipeline with Telerik Test Studio Free framework and TFS 2017 and above


My earlier posts were about how to create a test in visual studio with Telerik Framework. Since now you have couple of tests. lets take it to the next level.

First add your test code to a online repository ex: GIT

When the test suite is checked in to GIT leave the rest to TFS, you will need a another machine to run th tests, a Server or a PC in the same network would work for this

Follow the below steps
1. Open TFS
2. Click on builds and release
3. Click on New button
4. Add a name to your build and save
5. Add steps to your deployment process
6. Run the tests

its that simple,

Lets look in to adding steps to the build process,

Since you created your tests in visual studio this would be an easy process.

Please refer the below steps to add tasks to the build process

1. Add a task to get sources
Add a Get Sources task first


now add your properties


2. Build your solution

add a visual studio build task next


add your solution details in properties

3. Copy your build assemblies to the test runner machine

add a windows machine file copy task


add properties 
you can add variables from the variables tab, as showed below


*No need to change advanced and control options


4. Deploy Test Agent

Select Visual Studio Test Agent Deployment as the next task

Select version as "version 2" add relevant properties


*No need to change advanced and control options


5. Run Tests

add the final task as Run functional tests


Add properties

If you are running a test plan


If you are running a test assembly 


You can add reporting options and control options if you prefer to add, but its optional

6. Now you can queue your build and run the tests

But first make sure the running server firewall and virus guards are allowing your connection

Using page object model with Telerik Framework

In this blog we are going to talk about how to use Page Object Model to arrange your page UI elements in your test. Page object Model is a design pattern used  to create  Object Repository  for web UI elements  in test automation. Page object Model is used heavily in selenium but its is a good practice to use it in Telerik framework because we don't get a pre populated DOM  like in Telerik test studio. Actually we are using a modified Page Object Model in here, Lets take a login scenario as an example Login Page With out using Page object model the login script will look like this HtmlInputText Uname = myManager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ById("username").As<HtmlInputText>(); HtmlInputText Pass = myManager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ById("password").As<HtmlInputText>(); HtmlInputButton login = myManager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ById("loginbutton").As<HtmlInputButton>(); myManager.ActiveBrowser.Actions.SetText(Uname, "User...
