“No-code automation” can sound like a buzzword until you see what it actually replaces. For Dynamics 365 regression testing, it replaces this: a tester manually repeating the same click-by-click process, from memory, every time an update needs verifying.

Here’s what happens instead, step by step.

1. Record

A tester performs the process once, in Dynamics 365, exactly as they normally would — no scripting, no special setup. Testing by XPLUS records the session as it happens.

2. Update

The recording is reviewed and refined — adding validation checks and removing any duplicate data that would otherwise cause the test to fail on a second run. This is the step that turns a one-off recording into a reliable, repeatable test.

3. Repeat

From here, the same test can be run again at the click of a button — as many times as needed, across as many updates as needed, without anyone repeating the manual process by hand.

4. Document

Test documentation is generated automatically from the recording itself, so there’s a clear, accurate record of exactly what was tested — no separate write-up required.

5. Refine

Processes change. When they do, individual steps can be added, removed, or edited without re-recording the whole test from scratch.

What this means in practice

Most organisations automate 80%+ of their regression testing this way — some as much as 95%. Simple tests can be automated in as little as three minutes, and most teams are up and running within an hour of setup.
