Architecture diagram

Platform

The application was developed using .NET 6 as a console application and it supports the following platforms:

• Windows
• Linux
• MacOS 

Dataverse connection

The application can connect directly to a Dataverse environment to get information on previous chat transcripts to use as input for testing the Bot. These chat sessions are downloaded and saved locally as JSON files, to be used in a later stage.

Supported scenarios:

• Classic: The Bot and chat transcripts are on the same DV environment
• Special: The Bot and chat transcripts are on different DV environments

Files with different formats can be used to test the bot trigger phrases, the chat flow, and adaptive cards. These are the input files that the application supports:

• JSON: these files will be used to test the bot conversation flow (from one or more topics), trigger phrases and adaptive cards. The structure will be the same as the Dataverse one or a subset of it. Files can be created manually by the user using a specific command, these files are reduced in amount of fields, but preserve the same structure for consistency.
• CHAT: a simple text file with .chat extension can be used to mock a conversation between the user and the bot, and then convert it to a valid .json with a command.
