Edit Question
Title
Body
I'm wondering if anyone has any best practices for automating the testing of installers on various machines with potentially different hardware / software profiles and by specifying various options to the installer. The idea would be that I could write "unit test like" code to set up a machine, run the installer, then test that certain things are true. Tests might look similar to: Test: Boot Machine without IIS Run Installer Assert Installer Had Errors Test: Boot Machine with IIS Run Installer Assert Installer Ran Test_Fixture: SetUp: Boot Machine with IIS Test: Run Installer without IIS install Assert Website Not Installed Test: Run Installer with IIS install Assert Website Installed I know I could create lots of VMs, but waiting for a VM to boot for each functional test sounds like way more work than I want. What I really want is a way to virtualize the installer environment. Any suggestions?
