Microsoft Dynamics 365 and SAP are not standard applications to test. Custom workflows, mandatory evergreen updates, and deep integration landscapes mean every release carries real risk. We've been automating regression testing for these platforms for years — across F&O, Business Central, CRM, and Supply Chain.
The more you've customised it, the more you have to verify every time something changes. And with Dynamics, something always changes.
Out-of-the-box Dynamics works fine. The moment you add custom workflows, ISV integrations, or bespoke business logic — which every serious Dynamics deployment does — you own the testing burden that comes with it. Microsoft's updates don't break standard functionality. They break yours.
The cost isn't just the broken integration. It's the people-hours spent finding it, the release delay while it gets fixed, and the uncertainty before every update cycle about what this one will touch.
Microsoft pushes major Dynamics 365 releases on a fixed schedule. You cannot defer them indefinitely. Each one requires you to verify that your customisations, integrations, and business-critical workflows still function correctly — whether or not you have the capacity to test them.
Dev, test, UAT, production — each Dynamics environment carries licensing, infrastructure, and synchronisation costs. Managing test data across them is a recurring operational overhead that most teams absorb without ever measuring what it actually costs.
Without automated regression coverage, this cycle is expensive and stressful. With it, it becomes routine.
The release lands in your non-production environment. You have a window to validate before it hits production.
Every integration, custom workflow, and bespoke process needs to be checked. Without automation, this is manual — slow, inconsistent, and incomplete.
The moment the update lands, your full regression suite runs against it. Failures surface within hours with full context — what broke, where, and why.
Known issues are filed and fixed before go-live. Unknown regressions don't reach users. The cycle that used to take two weeks takes twelve hours.
This is where specialist knowledge matters. Generic automation engineers hit walls in Dynamics that slow everything down. We've already been through them.
Your unique business processes need test cases written specifically for them — not adapted from a generic template. We map your workflows and build coverage that reflects how your organisation actually uses Dynamics.
Dynamics' data layer is powerful but slow to set up through the UI. We use the API for test preconditions and cleanup — meaning tests run faster, a shared database works across your team, and you don't need a separate environment per tester.
ISV products, custom connectors, and third-party integrations are the first things to break after an update. We include integration touchpoints in your regression suite so they're verified on every run, not just when someone notices a problem.
Separate test databases per environment multiplies your infrastructure cost. Our API-based data management means multiple users and test runs can operate against a shared database safely — reducing environment overhead without sacrificing test isolation.
Dynamics failures are often verbose and opaque. AQA's AI analysis translates exceptions into plain-language descriptions of what broke and where — readable by business stakeholders, not just developers.
We align your regression schedule to Microsoft's release calendar. Before every major update, a full suite runs automatically — so you enter the update window knowing exactly what your exposure is.
The most complex Dynamics module to test — large transaction volumes, intricate financial workflows, and deep integration with external systems. We've run regression suites for F&O environments at enterprise scale.
Mid-market ERP with a high degree of per-customer customisation. Business Central deployments are rarely standard — every client has extensions, modified workflows, and integrations that need regression coverage.
CRM testing is often deprioritised until a broken workflow costs a deal. We cover the sales process end to end — lead capture, opportunity management, custom stages, and downstream integrations with marketing and ERP systems.
Operational workflows where failures have immediate, visible consequences. Supply chain testing requires understanding the business process deeply — a test that passes technically but reflects the wrong flow is worse than no test.
Most Dynamics clients maintain more environments than they need because their testing approach requires isolation. When test data setup and teardown happens through the UI, you can't safely share a database — so you provision separate environments instead.
We handle data management through the API. That means multiple test runs, multiple testers, and multiple test suites can operate against the same environment without interference. The infrastructure cost follows.
We'll map your customisations, integration points, and update cycle — and show you exactly what regression coverage would look like in your specific setup. No generic proposals.
