KEY HIGHLIGHTS
The size of the testing automation market is expected to almost double from $28.1 billion in 2023 to over $55 billion in 2028. One reason for this forecast jump is that organizations understand the value of test automation tools: in ensuring application functionality, responsiveness, and usability, and more importantly, in delivering delightful user experiences that can boost their app’s popularity and profitability.
Automation is particularly critical for testing enterprise tools like Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365)
This suite of business applications empowers organizations to minimize operational complexity, control costs, and innovate with confidence. But to ensure that they work flawlessly; regular and end-to-end testing of the entire D365 ecosystem is vital. Testing is also crucial to identify and mitigate the risks created by D365 integrations with other enterprise systems.
However, manual testing is too time-consuming, resource-intensive, and costly. It also cannot keep up with the high velocity and frequency of D365 upgrades and updates. Automation is the best testing approach because it enables fast testing at any frequency and scale, while also minimizing its cost and resource requirements. Automating the testing process with an intelligent platform like Avo Assure helps to optimize the functionality of the D365 environment as its users’ experiences after every update. It also simplifies testing for complex integrations, allowing issues to be fixed early and with minimal impact on real-world business processes or users.
Brought to you by the worldwide leaders of test automation, Avo Assure simplifies end-to-end testing for Microsoft Dynamics 365. This no-code, AI-driven test automation platform facilitates hassle-free, continuous QA of D365, ensuring that all its applications behave as intended and continue to generate robust benefits for your organization.
Key Challenges
Most organizations face three challenges during D365 testing:
Integrations with Ancillary Applications
The applications in the D365 suite can be connected to each other and integrated with many other third-party solutions to extend their capabilities, processes, and business productivity. It’s very difficult to test all these interconnections and their associated complexities at scale with manual testing.
Frequent Updates
Microsoft regularly adds new features and improvements to enhance D365 and to fix known issues. It’s worthwhile to apply these updates to your environment to ensure that you continue to benefit from the application suite. But first, you need to test the updates. Slow manual testing cannot keep up with the speed of updates. It is also prone to errors, which can limit its effectiveness and results.
Test Execution Priority Testing for Specific Functionalities
Effective testing of D365 must cover all its configurations, process flows, privilege levels, business rules, and other complexities. To achieve this objective, the testing team must define specific requirements and test scenarios covering the various configurations. These are all tedious and burdensome tasks if done manually. Automation can ease these challenges. The problem is that very few automated tools exist to simplify these aspects. Even fewer tools support role-based testing or data-driven testing that utilizes Dynamics 365 data structures.
The easiest way to mitigate these challenges is with test automation and Avo Assure.
