The steel manufacturer was using Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations to run day-to-day operations of their business. Because the manufacturer was part of a larger enterprise, with the segregation of the companies, their production environment was duplicated into a new instance. This instance still contained all customizations that were mainly focused on parent company processes. As a result, such customizations needed to be removed for other entities/child companies, in order to make their processes simple. To ensure the ERP solution worked optimally after removing customizations, thorough manual testing of different modules, which was repetitive in nature needed to be done.
The manufacturer wanted to engage with a provider who could analyze various processes that were executed within D365F&O and create automated testing scenarios that could be utilized at every platform upgrade to significantly reduce manual verification efforts. This would enable users to leverage capabilities of the latest version of their Dynamics solution.
Since the manufacturer is one of the clients of a Microsoft VAR Synoptek acquired in 2019, they reached out to Synoptek to fulfil this Dynamics QA requirement.
To meet the manufacturer’s requirement, Synoptek, a Microsoft Gold Partner, adopted RSAT – Microsoft’s automation tool for D365F&O testing – to automate many of the D365F&O processes. The tool not only helped us in reducing the time and cost of testing, it also allowed functional users to record business tasks and then convert the recordings into a suite of automated tests – without having to write source code. Since the tool is fully integrated with Microsoft Azure DevOps, it resulted in seamless test execution, reporting, and investigation.
The Synoptek QA team performed the following activities:
