Regression Testing Time
Permissions Management
Less Disruption
The Challenge- Regression testing was time-consuming, with no structured reporting on what had been tested
- Managing licensing and permissions in D365 F&O felt overwhelming
- No efficient approach to validating changes in the sandbox environment
- Risk of disruption to daily operations when implementing changes
The Solution
- Testing by XPLUS (Executive Automats) deployed across D365 F&SCM (SaaS)
- Automated regression testing replacing manual processes
- Simplified licensing and permissions management from day one
- Structured sandbox validation before production deployment
The Outcome
- Regression testing time greatly reduced
- Clear, reliable reporting on what has been tested and where to focus manual validation
- Licensing and permissions management simplified
- Smoother workflow – testing changes with less disruption
Executive Automats has transformed our testing approach – cutting regression testing time dramatically while giving us clear, reliable reporting on exactly what’s been tested and where to focus manual validation.
Operations Manager, Copper State Bolt & Nut Co.
Executive Automats made a big difference for us early on by simplifying how we handled licensing and permissions in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations – my original focus since it felt pretty overwhelming at the start. As we’ve gotten past that, the focus has shifted more toward improving our overall workflow, especially around making changes and validating them in our sandbox environment. It’s helped us test and refine things more efficiently with less disruption, which has made our process a lot smoother.
