Automated Unit Testing - v7.1.1 to v7.1.5 Unavailable
Hi.
On the PDN (https://collaborate.pega.com/question/do-we-have-automated-testing-718-rest-services-pdn-search-shows-only-soap-services-there) it mentions:
“Note: Automated unit testing is unavailable in PRPC 7.1.1 - 7.1.5. Starting in 7.1.6, users can access AUT from supported browser version of IE.”
The client would like to use automated unit testing but only have v7.1.5. What issues are we likely to encounter if we do start using what is available? I have tested, and successfully automated, Test Suites for Test Cases on Decision Tables, so I know that works. However, Test Cases on Flows do not work correctly.
If we do create, use and schedule Test Suites and Test Cases where they do work in v7.1.5 are we likely to encounter upgrade issues for future versions? Or any other issues? Is it best to just not use the functionality that is present, and use other 3rd party tools for automated testing?
Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks.

The client have decided that strategically they will use external tools for automated regression testing, with little unit test coverage. This is until they they upgrade to a later version of Pega (currently on v7.1.5) and will start using the new Unit Testing features.

Hi Ricky,
I think Tejas Mehta is probably the best Pega subject-matter expert (SME) on AUT to comment on this, so I have @mentioned him here which will trigger an email notification to him.

Hi Ricky,
I have since learned that Tejas may not have seen this when I tried to pull him in, as the Pilot was still in its early stages at that time and access was more restricted.
Based on the reply above from Sivarajesh, did you ever get an answer to this that you can share with the community?
Thanks,
Marc
