Challenges

The challenge of manual performance testing

Performance testing is vital and, often, non-negotiable. But that doesn’t make it easy:

“It’s impossible to predict how long testing will take.”

Testing can be something of a black box – often, you don’t know what bugs or issues will arise until you’ve already started. This makes it difficult to plan resources, deadlines, and dependencies. 

“We just don’t have the resources for testing.”

Skilled developers are difficult to attract and retain – particularly in today’s market. Manual testing just isn’t a good use of their time.

“We’re losing too much business to downtime and outages.”

Stable and resilient systems require thorough performance testing, particularly when the system goes live. But the cost and effort required means many struggle to do it properly, risking poor performance and downtime in the long run.

“Our processes are too complex for most tools.”

There might be a lot of automated testing tools on the market, but most create more problems than they solve. Larger organizations will find that these tools don’t have the functionality to support complex Dynamics 365 deployments with bespoke elements and integrations.

“We don’t know the limits of our Dynamics 365 system.”

Without effective performance testing, it’s impossible to know how the system behaves under peak load. This makes it very difficult to plan capacity, avoid disruptions, and maintain operational efficiency.

“Our employees keep leaving.”

Manual testing is most people’s least-favorite job. The more of it they have to do, the more likely they are to look elsewhere.

The solution

There’s a better way to do performance testing

Automated performance testing can save costs, accelerate testing cycles, and improve the performance of your vital Dynamics 365 systems. Here’s how:

Reduce performance testing timelines to a minimum

Save time and money with an automated testing framework that can be customized to your specific needs.

Use real user data

The test platform enables you to use real Dynamics 365 user data and execute tests the same way your users will work with the application, from the UI. This greatly enhances the results of performance testing projects and makes them realistic.

Generate documentation automatically

It’s now easier than ever to create and update business process documentation. Simply record processes as they’re taking place, then automatically generate business process documentation based on it.

Integrate seamlessly with Azure DevOps

Execute performance tests automatically via Azure DevOps and integrate the testing solution with other platforms via our internal API. You can also create Azure DevOps tasks automatically, based on testing results.

Create scripts in just a few clicks

Contrary to other testing tools, XPLUS enables you to introduce modifications as you go, without the need to waste hours on a single script. This greatly improves the efficiency of your script creation and maintenance

Keep Dynamics 365 running smoothly

Quickly and precisely diagnose performance issues in Dynamics 365. With effective automated performance testing, you’ll have the tools you need to improve fault tolerance while keeping your systems fast, online, and responsive.
