Introduction
In our previous blog, we learned how EasyRepro could help you automate Dynamics 365 most efficiently and the benefits that can be achieved if we opt to use EasyRepro instead of creating a test automation framework from scratch.
So, buckle up your seatbelts and get ready because, in this blog, we will see how we can get started using EasyRepro – and the prerequisites we need to fulfill before customizing in EasyRepro.
Cloning the EasyRepro Framework
- Navigate to Microsoft EasyRepro Repository on Github:
You can look at all the system requirements, supported operating systems, and browsers. Moreover, you can learn about the supported CRM versions and what functionalities of CRM you can automate and which you cannot. We can also investigate the release versions of the framework for information purposes.
- Now click the “Code” button present and click the “Download ZIP” button.
- Extract the Zip folder.

- Now open the extracted files folder and look for a solution file named “UIAutomation.sln” and open that in Visual Studio.
- Reviewing the projects in the solution:
There are four projects in the solution. To understand the framework, let’s first discuss these projects in detail. This is an important aspect and requires you to have exact knowledge of the system. Otherwise, you will waste most of your time wandering in different projects looking for your required functions. So, let us discuss the projects that are available to us.
- Microsoft.Dynamics365.UIAutomation.Sample: This project shows you how to write your tests. If you are new to EasyRepro, you must go through this project to better understand the code structure and how to use it to cater to your testing needs.
- Microsoft.Dynamics365.UIAutomation.Browser: This project helps us to communicate with the web driver (Browser) and other under-the-hood components.
- Microsoft.Dynamics365.UIAutomation.API.UCI: This project specifically used for Unified Interface contains all the methods.
- Microsoft.Dynamics365.UIAutomation.API: This project also contains methods to help us automate Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
Getting Started with Sample Project
Now, we better understand the different projects available to us in EasyRepro. Now, let’s execute a sample test to get a clear picture of things:
- From the “Solution Explorer”, click on Microsoft.Dynamics365.UIAutomation.Sample the project and expand it. Now you will see a app.config file. Click on it to open the config file.
- In the config file, under the <AppSettings>, enter the URL of the CRM system you want to run your test on and enter its login credentials to log in to the CRM system.
