Introduction
Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) is a powerful suite of enterprise applications used by organizations worldwide for finance, operations, sales, and customer service management. However, with frequent updates, complex workflows, and extensive customizations, ensuring a stable and high-performing D365 environment is a significant challenge.
Test automation is crucial for accelerating deployments, reducing manual effort, and improving software quality. This guide provides a structured, highly technical, and researchdriven approach to implementing test automation in Microsoft D365, with supporting facts, figures, and strategies for enterprise adoption.
Understanding the Need for Test Automation in D365
Challenges of Manual Testing in D365

What Our Customers Say
Before Avo Assure, our team relied heavily on manual testing, which made keeping up with Microsoft’s frequent D365 updates a constant struggle. We tried RSAT, but its limitations and high maintenance made automation more of a burden than a solution. Now, Avo Assure helps us automate end-to-end testing across D365, Power Apps, WMS, and our Ecommerce platform without constant script breakages through a no-code approach. Avo Assure is the scalable, enterprise-grade automation solution we were looking for.
