Testing MS Dynamics 365 with ACCELQ
Dynamics 365 is a robust integrated solution that combines Dynamics AX, ERP, and Dynamics CRM. This is an all-in-one solution that can easily adapt to changing business needs and without the compulsion to pick and choose from the varied existing options available. Microsoft Dynamics 365 testing ensures the quality, performance, and compatibility of the Dynamics 365 application always. It can identify and resolve any issues or bugs arising from the updates. Dynamics 365 testing also ensures that new features are verified, and enhancements work as expected, and meet business requirements.
Understanding challenges of manually testing MS Dynamics 365
Testing Microsoft Dynamics 365 is critical as it helps check and cross-verify that the platform meets business objectives. It is also essential to first locate disparities in application implementation and address major loopholes. Now this can get cumbersome due to the following reasons.
- The Microsoft Dynamics 365 product suite comprises of web applications including deep object trees, dynamic object IDs, and nested iFrames. Manual testing involves creating scripts that test these elements on the object layer which can be fragile.
- Differences in navigating around Dynamics applications bring changes in UI and markup language; this may bring broken tests.
- Changes in UI functionality across different applications in the Dynamics 365 suite demands testing resulting in wasted resources in the process of fixing them with new scripts.
- To ensure that the business functions are intact, continued upgraded versions and maintenance upgrades within product suites/core applications require extra effort from testers.
- Compatibility and integration problems can also occur with some web browsers such as Firefox and IE also creating issues.
- With system upgrades there is a high risk of losing data or being migrated by error thus impacting business processes.
- Regression testing is critical and needs to be executed each time there are changes introduced to the source code (for new functionalities can bring bugs) If performed manually, regression tests can be extremely burdensome for the testing team as they may cover 100% of system functionality.
Test Automation for Dynamics 365 can handle the complexities of the implementation process while offering a sizable scope of use for testing various related Dynamics Operations. It also confirms if the Dynamics platform can exchange critical data across other Microsoft services through end-to-end testing.
What is ACCELQ MS Dynamics test automation?
The right MS Dynamics testing platform offers an array of modern QA capabilities that aid in efficient testing. Let us examine features of ACCELQ as an effective MS Dynamics 365 testing platform:
- CI alignment with ongoing MS Dynamics Releases and version changes, enabling in-sprint automation for shift-left testing, enhances test coverage, risk and defect based testing planning and tracking and finally integrates with the CI pipeline for automated regression executions.
- The ACCELQ MS Dynamics test automation platform is driven by AI codeless objection interaction capabilities and is self-healing. (it enables automated tests to detect and can self-correct issues)
- Pre-configured test assets via ACCELQ Dynamics Universe offers ready-to-go regression suite with best practices and templates.
- AI-based Object handling is specially designed to handle elements of MS Dynamics elements such as nested iframes, dynamic objects, and more.
Testing MS Dynamics 365 with the ACCELQ tool is easy and enhances the efforts of testers establishing continuous testing with minimal maintenance.
