Demos

• Build task automation solution between Planner and GitHub using Microsoft Graph – looks at interactions between GitHub (or any app) and Planner via Microsoft Graph. Use case – create a PR (pull request) that lands as actionable Planner task for repo’s owner. PR initiates workflow that calls a GitHub action. Graph handles authentication and Planner task creation. Task in Planner contains link to PR. Code walk-through - node.js project, 3 .ts files, uses MSAL, app reg in Azure AD. Conversation - aka.ms/Mar2-Demo1
• Improve your test strategy with Microsoft Graph Developer Proxy – a review affirming capabilities of Proxy to test the untestable and to improve the quality of your desktop apps by simulating responses to any API (Graph, not Graph). Run through UI automated and manual test scenarios in this demo. Review available parameters including ability to mock. Test results presented along with tips to fix. Test client applications without additional web APIs. Feedback always welcome. Conversation - aka.ms/Mar2-Demo2
