Model-based ERP testing: How to test Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations

Rigorous ERP testing after every release. Test Modeller automatically generates automated tests for Microsoft Dynamics 365, finding unforeseen impacts of system changes before they can impact critical business operations.

Is your business relying on untested systems?

Organisations today rely on Microsoft Dynamics 365 to manage critical Enterprise Resource Planning. Regular application updates provide these organisations with new and valuable functionality, but also present QA challenges. Testers must test ERP implications rigorously after each release, checking for unforeseen impacts on custom set-ups. This requires rapid automated testing, but a raft of manual processes can prevent rigorous testing after every release. Manual test execution often lingers as an alternative to slow and complex scripting, while QA teams struggle to identify the exact impact of a release on their systems. Faced with hundreds or thousands of existing tests to maintain, QA teams have no time to test rigorously after every release, leaving ERP systems exposed to damaging bugs.

Rigorously test Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations

Test Modeller enables rapid and rigorous ERP test automation, maintaining the reliability of ERP systems after every release. A UI Scanner automatically generates identifiers and implementation code for automated testing, replacing time lost to repetitive and complex scripting. Generating optimised automated tests is then as quick and simple as assembling the scanned elements in visual flowcharts, applying coverage algorithms to create tests for all the modelled logic. Central rule libraries automatically model equivalence classes associated with each element, quickly building models for rigorous automated testing.

Test Modeller’s code generation engine uses custom templates to generate bespoke code for homegrown, commercial and open source frameworks. QA and business teams can simply hit “generate” to execute the optimised automated tests against Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. With each new release, updating the central flowchart models maintains the rigorous tests, ensuring that business-critical ERP systems continue delivering value and not bugs.
