Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 and the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online introduce the concept of “solutions” to provide a simple and reliable way to deploy packages of related extensions to Microsoft Dynamics CRM implementations. In professionally managed development organizations, these solutions will be deployed into various test and staging environments for analysis before they are released or deployed into a production environment.

This white paper explores deploying real-world Microsoft Dynamics CRM solutions across test and production environments in reliable and repeatable ways by using automation, together with some automation examples. The paper also highlights the specific constraints that exist when deploying and testing solutions in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online environment.
