A business that runs multiple lines of operations has a complex manufacturing process and expands into many countries, and can use this solution to make its financial and operational tasks smoother.

**Dynamics 365 Business Central**: This solution is suitable for small & medium-sized businesses. It can solve their internal mechanism loopholes to scale their operational and financial reach in the market. 

**Dynamics 365 Testing** 

Multiple applications of dynamics work in a combined manner, like a building block. Businesses choose blocks they find more suitable, so dynamics are built differently for each business’s requirement. Let’s take an instance of an e-commerce business & any physical store. Their operational and financing decisions & tasks differ from each other. However, Dynamics 365 perfectly sets for both businesses, although different components of dynamics are used for these businesses. 

In today’s time, businesses have become more dynamic. They are required to be constantly evolving and adapting to major changes happening in the market. Not all distinct functions of Dynamics 365 can be compatible with different nature businesses. Here comes the need for a developer to twist up coding a little bit to get desirable results. So, when a developer changes a few pieces of code for the required output, it can affect the functionality and create bugs. In this case, the Dynamics user interface and other functionality require testing with each customization.

**Manual Vs. Automation Testing** 

If we talk about manual testing, then there will be a team devoted to application testing setting up a list of more requirements and high expectations. The process involves more manual efforts with clicking each functionality and passes through a pass or fail test at each step. There will be a need for extra time and resources in manual testing with the considerable scope of human error risk. 

On the other hand, automation Microsoft Dynamics 365 testing runs different functionality tests with the help of a computer. It can edge manual testing with more accuracy and speed and eliminate the risk of human error. This can also save testers time to focus only on major tasks with their exploratory testing. 

Adapting automation testing will definitely have more benefits than manual testing, businesses get better results, and processes will take shorter time duration with minimal risk & errors. Automation can solve highly advanced technical challenges that may be slightly difficult in manual testing, and there is a wider scope for expanding automated tools with coding. 

**What Can You Automate in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Testing**?

More advanced technology innovation & advancement can make it possible to automate much different functionality of Dynamics 365. It assists in automation testing and derives more accurate results by pointing out different bugs and rectifying them beforehand. So, here is the list of things we can automate in testing Dynamics 365 through automation.

**Form**

This feature can automate creating new data in Dynamics and set up a new contact in their sales application. Different field types present in these forms are dropdowns, two option fields, date fields, and plain text fields.

**Login Feature**

Applications of dynamics rely on an automatic login option. Here user credentials get transferred from Microsoft 365 login to the Dynamics application. Automation testing can help in verifying these features and updates about different users. 

**Reading Data**

With lots of products and applications, Dynamics 365 raises the need to maintain data integrity, which becomes a challenge when data is flooded through multiple channels. It will be a good idea to create automation testing to read and verify data fastly with accuracy.
