SharePoint integration testing

Test your SharePoint connector against versioned scenarios.

We’re building a maintained SharePoint test environment for your existing connector and tests. Our aim is to reduce mock upkeep and repeated provider investigation.

Test one scenario with us

Maintained offering in development.

The API responds. Does your integration still work?

A successful request can leave stale content or missing records. Your tests need to check what your application stored.

Illustrative sequence. It explains the preview’s selected behavior, not real-tenant conformance or customer results.

Initial document fetch

01 · starting stateA fresh sync

Your application has not stored the starting documents.

stored documents 0
checkpoint none
02 · provider conditionStarting documents

The environment serves the declared files and a change checkpoint.

document A · version 1
document B · version 1
03 · your application checkExpected content stored

Assert that the expected IDs and content are present before advancing.

assert expected IDs present
assert expected content stored

Your application check verifies stored content. Provider responses alone do not establish that your connector handled them correctly.

A new document arrives

01 · starting stateTwo documents stored

Keep the application state and checkpoint from the initial fetch.

stored documents A, B
checkpoint after initial fetch
02 · provider conditionDocument C added

A declared transition adds a file. Your connector polls for changes.

added document C
content version 1
03 · your application checkNew content appears

Assert that the new document is stored and earlier documents remain.

assert document C present
assert documents A, B retained

Your test checks the addition without resetting the application. An isolated response mock may miss the transition from the earlier state.

Same document. Different content.

01 · starting stateDocument A · version 1

Your connector has already stored the original content.

stored document A
content version 1
02 · provider conditionSame ID · version 2

The change response identifies document A as changed. A content request returns version 2.

changed document A
content version 2
03 · your application checkUpdated, not duplicated

Assert that stored content changed and the document count stayed the same.

assert stored content changed
assert document count unchanged

A test that only checks for a successful response could miss stale content. Your application check verifies the stored result.

What we’re building to maintain

The SharePoint behavior behind your tests.

The intended value is less time investigating Microsoft behavior and recreating it in mocks.

  1. 01

    Versioned scenarios

    Keep selected responses and state changes in repeatable cases, with a clear version and known limits.

  2. 02

    Provider evidence

    Compare selected behavior with documentation and authorized real-tenant runs. Record what was checked and when. Real-tenant conformance is not yet established.

  3. 03

    Documented corrections

    Investigate reported mismatches and publish reviewed corrections. State what changed and what remains unresolved.

These are our planned maintenance responsibilities. Your team owns application code, checks, fixes and release decisions. Review updates before adopting them.

Working with your test setup

Use your connector.
Keep your own checks.

Integration engineers at software vendors and internal platform teams can start with one recurring document-sync case. Engineers or coding agents run the same application tests.

  1. 01

    Agree on the case

    Choose the behavior, starting data and expected application result. Define the evidence and limits together.

  2. 02

    Connect and run

    Configure test endpoints and authentication. Run your existing connector and assertions in an authorized test setup.

  3. 03

    Reset and repeat

    Keep state between phases. Reset the environment and application for an independent repetition or a run after a fix.

Routing, test authentication, fixtures and application reset take setup work. Compatibility with your connector must be checked.

Developer preview scope

One document-sync sequence.

The bounded preview represents initial fetch, additions and same-ID content updates through Microsoft Graph polling delta. It uses a Linux AMD64 container and connection CLI.

Represented behavior
Document fetch, addition and update. Reset and repeat.
Still to qualify
Real-tenant conformance and compatibility with your connector.
Separate scope
Expired delta links, permission changes, throttling and other providers.

A passing run checks represented conditions. It does not certify the whole SharePoint service or approve your application release. Existing mocks or sandboxes may already be enough.

Before we test together

Scope and setup.

What does testing one scenario with you involve?

Start with the SharePoint behavior you repeatedly investigate or recreate. We would agree on the connector setup, expected result and evidence needed. The maintained offering is in development. Before testing, we’ll agree the case, setup, timing and any commercial terms.

Can we test expired delta links?

Expired delta-link recovery is a candidate to scope together. The current developer preview covers the ordinary fetch, addition and same-ID update sequence. It does not yet establish expired-link recovery, permission changes or throttling coverage.

What does the developer preview cover?

The bounded SharePoint preview represents initial document fetch, additions and same-ID content updates through Microsoft Graph polling delta. It uses a Linux AMD64 container and connection CLI. Your connector, test authentication and deployment need their own compatibility checks. Additional providers have not been selected.

Why not keep our existing mocks or sandbox?

They may already be enough. Our intended contribution is maintaining selected SharePoint behavior, its evidence and runnable scenarios, then investigating reported mismatches. That must remove more work than setup and update review add. Maintenance savings have not yet been measured.

Can coding agents use the same scenarios?

Engineers or coding agents can run your team’s existing connector and checks against the configured test environment. No special agent framework is required by this design. Your team owns application assertions, fixes and release decisions. Compatibility with your tooling still needs to be checked.

Have the scenarios been checked against real tenants?

Real-tenant conformance remains unverified. We plan to compare selected scenarios with authorized SharePoint tenant runs and provider documentation, recording the conditions, dates and known gaps. A repeatable preview run does not establish Microsoft behavior or application correctness outside the tested conditions.

Test one scenario with us

Which SharePoint scenario do you keep rebuilding?

Bring one recurring case and the connector you already use. We’ll discuss the expected behavior, setup and what a useful test would show.

Maintained offering in development. We’ll first confirm fit and agree the scope before testing.
