The recent RSAT tool now supports running via command line. Just call the ConsoleApp executable with the right commands. This is great for automation scenarios. Normally, you would have all your test plans prepared and you just want to execute it them on a regular basis. Below is a quick summary of what it covers. To get the list of commands just enter ? at the end. C:\Program Files (x86)\Regression Suite Automation Tool\ Microsoft.Dynamics.RegressionSuite.ConsoleApp.exe ? To get the list of IDs just run this. C:\Program Files (x86)\Regression Suite Automation Tool\ Microsoft.Dynamics.RegressionSuite.ConsoleApp.exe list To run a list of test cases just use the playbackbyid command. C:\Program Files (x86)\Regression Suite Automation Tool\ Microsoft.Dynamics.RegressionSuite.ConsoleApp.exe playbackbyid 104 105 106

The RSAT doesn't have any roll back feature. So, it can be frustrating updating the excel file with unique records. Well not to worry - RSAT supports Excel formulas. The user guide suggests using RandBetween(a,b) Excel function. However, that isn't really reliable and you are hoping you don't get the same random number. I have been using date formula. The below concatenates the datetime to the string. =CONCATENATE("SS",TEXT(NOW(),"yymmddhhmmss")) If you want to get started with RSAT.
