Test framework for validating content types

Sitefinity CMS provides a test framework that uses Sitefinity CMS OData services to validate that CRUD operations work for all built-in content types. You can use this framework to perform sanity checks for the built-in content types. You can also build upon it and test your custom content types. 

RECOMMENDATION: We recommend running the tests every time after you upgrade your Sitefinity CMS.

The test framework is located in Sitefinity GitHub repository Progress Sitefinity CMS test framework samples.

The repository contains the infrastructure code that enables you to write tests, using the Sitefinity WCF RESTful services. It also includes wrappers to expose data for the built-in content types to the tests you write. The repository also has actual tests.
