Is Wasting Time on Testing Slowing Down Your Dynamics 365 Changes?

Is your D365 testing stalling innovation? Discover the blueprint for continuous, error-free quality assurance using visual test automation and the Business Process Catalog.

The Testing Bottleneck in Every D365 Update

You just implemented a big change in Dynamics 365, or maybe you are prepping for the next major release. What’s the first thing you lose? Time, usually to testing.

Testing core business processes - like Purchase-to-Pay or Order-to-Cash - in D365 is slow, repetitive, and prone to human error. Every time Microsoft updates, or you tweak an internal process, you have to run through the same steps all over again. It’s draining for your IT team and your business users.

Instead of having your experts repeat the same 50 manual steps week after week, there’s a smarter approach to achieving process control and ensuring consistent quality. Ignoring that smarter approach is where the real cost lies.

The Real Risk of Manual Testing

Many teams believe manual testing is cheap and flexible. That’s a myth. It’s actually the most expensive part of your D365 maintenance, and it carries significant risks:

  • It’s Slow: Manual testing bottlenecks projects and delays essential updates, costing time and momentum.

  • It Stalls Innovation: If every update means weeks of manual work, your organization hesitates to make improvements. The system stagnates because the risk feels too high.

  • It’s Incomplete: Humans make mistakes. You simply cannot test every single permutation of a complex process manually, leaving gaps in your compliance and process flow.

The reality is simple: you need a method that lets you test faster than you change.

Process Automation is the Answer

You shouldn't need a coding degree to build a test. The power lies in automating the actual business steps, not just the underlying technical code. This is what transforms your testing approach.

Here is how automating your business process testing helps your D365 environment:

  • Visual Building: You use a visual, flowchart-based approach to build tests. If you can map your process, you can automate testing it.

  • Instant Verification: You can run full end-to-end tests instantly after every change. You know immediately if an update broke a critical process, such as invoicing or order fulfillment.

Automation lets your best process experts focus on strategic improvements instead of repetitive quality assurance. It transforms quality assurance from a manual chore into a continuous, reliable safety net.

Ready to Stop Treating Testing Like a Roadblock? 

Testing in D365 doesn’t have to be the bottleneck that holds back your organization’s innovation.
