re: Automation testing or simulation with K2.net 2003

During load and performance testing we basically took the same approach by creating unit tests to kick of a few processes (or do whatever the specific scenario required), plugged it into load tests... and Bob's your uncle!

VSTS really does make these kind of tests a breaze!

One important note is that once you have the report in SSRS it can then easily be imported into workspace

Nice one Jason - good article. Was great to hear some discussion & debate about SO (at conf).

I think it's important to break it all back to 1st principles - when "positioning" SmartObjects. There are some great advantages depending on business/technical factors. Simply put - just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD. (the most "at-hand" technology may not always the best choice) - then again, it can be exactly what's needed - depending....

Looking forward to hearing/reading more...

Excellent article and will be of great use in the coming days as we try to explain our technology choice to our organisation's decision makers.

Thanks

"Workflow Foundation (WF)

For developers, and ISV's Microsoft has introduced Windows Workflow Foundation as part of the .Net framework version 3 Windows Workflow Foundation a programming model/ framework for building workflows into your applications. The goal of WF is to provide a general framework that supports workflow, and make it a standard part of the Windows environment. "

So a key thing to note is that unlike the other three technologies in the .NET 3.0 Wave (WCF, WPF and CardSpace) WF is VERY ISV centric. There is a significant amount of effort involved to put together a WF host that approaches anything production readty. Yes, there are some good places to use parts of it, StateMachine flows for UI control and a favourite of mine, the rules engine, but as a general rule most developers will be using WF as embodied in a 3rd party host.

That's typically going to be MOSS, MSCRM or K2 at the moment.

One of the key drivers for MSFT in producing WF was to provide a .NET based toolset for their own product divisions (who are largely treated like any other large ISV by DevDiv). Hence the nmove of MOSS and MSCRM to WF. And we'll see WF as the core for BiozTalk.net and Oslo as well.

Chris, a run through of the MSCRM 4.0 implementation of WF would probably be useful too. Ping me if you think that'd be useful.

re: Getting into BizTalk

japergis — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 17:22:17 GMT

That is exactly how I have used K2.net and BizTalk. In two cases we created the workflow layers with K2.net and then used BizTalk to take the InfoPath XML, shred it, map it, etc. and send it off to VAX mainframe, SAP, etc. Personally my examples truly do not justify the need for BizTalk and I do not want to trivialize it to just a persistence layer. I have seen it used to manage highly transactional communications between disparate line of business applications codify complex business rules; like I have seen it implemented to approve credit card loan transactions for various tiers of loan providers – that is when BizTalk gets really exciting!

Absolutely you could do that and makes lots of sense too. If you want to create a continuous build environment with integrated unit testing like Gaberial is suggesting you may still get forced to go down the path creating unit testing stubs to kick off the workflows.
