Using the BizTalk Map Test Framework


The BizTalk Map Test Framework has been developed by Maurice den Heijer. It enables developers to perform tests on their maps using template files and XPath queries. The framework offers a great deal of extensibility when using it within a Visual Studio Test Project.

A developer can define a large number of test cases to be applied upon the map and these test cases are run within a single method call. Hence, the productivity of testing a map is enhanced significantly. Also, the developer only needs to maintain two XML files (one source XML (that is, the input file) and a result XML (that is, the output file)). Both files are basically instances of a source schema and a destination schema of the map to be tested.

In this recipe, a BizTalk map will be tested through using the BizTalk Map Test Framework in the Visual Studio Test Project (that is, unit testing).
