Why use Rapise to test Dynamics 365 for Operations

There are several reasons why you will need to use Rapise to test Dynamics 365:

  • Microsoft updates D365 monthly, so manual testing not practical to test how the new updates impact your installation.
  • In addition to the core product, ISVs will release updates to the add-ons and integrations that you may be using frequently
  • You can write unit tests directly in the X++ language. They are good in that they are server side and can be run quickly, however they have some major limitations:
    • Unit tests written in X++ do not touch the UI, they are related to data model and database. So if a field is not displayed on a form - X++ test has no issues with reading/writing the value. So a unit test may pass while there is an issue in the workflow that will impact real users.
    • If you have any customized components or third-party add-ons, the X++ unit tests will not be able to test them, so you lose the ability to test all impacted parts of the system
    • You cannot  do any integrated scenario tests that involve non-Dynamics web application.
  • Rapise has pre-built libraries for the most complex elements in D365 - menus, grids and treeviews - trying to test it manually using hand-written Selenium WebDriver code is laborious, error-prone and hard to maintain.
