Dynamics 365 doesn’t sit still. Between the four scheduled One Version release waves and up to nine Product Quality Updates a year, your environment is changing constantly — whether you asked for it or not.

Each of those updates carries the same obligation: confirm nothing broke. In theory, that means re-running your regression tests every time. In practice, most teams can’t. Manual testing takes too long, ties up the people who understand the business processes best, and rarely gets the priority it deserves against everything else on a busy release calendar.

The real cost isn’t time — it’s certainty

The most expensive part of manual regression testing isn’t the hours it takes. It’s not knowing whether it actually got done properly. Steps get skipped when they “probably” don’t matter. Testers work from memory instead of a documented process. And because there’s no reliable record of what was tested and what wasn’t, the first sign of a problem is often a live issue in production.

Your best people shouldn’t be doing this

Regression testing needs someone who understands the process being tested — which usually means your most experienced staff. Every hour they spend manually clicking through the same test case for the tenth time is an hour they’re not spending on the higher-value work only they can do.

There’s a better way

This is exactly the gap Testing by XPLUS is built to close: record a test once, then run it again — and again — at the click of a button, with a documented, repeatable result every time.
