DGML Test Modeling

Download Source Code: DgmlTestModel.zip (300kb) including binaries.

See also Demo Video: (WMV 26mb) (MP4 24mb).

The Microsoft.VisualStudio.DgmlTestModeling.dll library contains the DgmlTestModel class which you can use to execute a DGML test model. The execution state is writen to a named pipe so that the DGML Test Monitor VSIX package can animate the progress during test execution. Included in the download is a SampleTestModel.dgml which shows how to author a DGML test model.

Example

To execute the model in an MSTest method do the following:

 [TestMethod]

public void RunModel()

 {

// This test executes a model of what and end user might want to do

// The model is described in DGML

try

     {               

int seed = Environment.TickCount;

         var random = new Random(seed);

         TestContext.WriteLine("Model Seed = " + seed);

  var model = new DgmlTestModel(this, new TestLog(TestContext), random);

string path = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(System.IO.Path.Combine(this.TestContext.TestDir, @"..\..\Tests\TestModel.dgml"));

         model.Load(path);

int delay = 0; // 1000 is handy for debugging.

         model.Run(new Predicate<DgmlTestModel>((m) => {
return m.StatesExecuted > 500;

         }), delay);

      } catch {

string temp = Path.GetTempPath() + "\\Screen.png";

Win32.CaptureScreen(temp, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

          TestContext.WriteLine("ScreenCapture: " + temp);

throw;

      }

finally

      {

          Terminate();

      }

 }

The following picture shows the model executing inside VS using the DGML Test Monitor.
