The Composable Testing Playbook for D365 and Its Connected Ecosystem

Microsoft Dynamics 365 now ships eight or more update events every year. The business processes built on it routinely span five or six systems: D365 Customer Engagement, Dataverse, Power Platform, ISV extensions, tax engines, WMS, payment gateways, and the legacy systems still kept alive through integration. The three dominant testing approaches, manual regression, RSAT, and coded automation frameworks, were designed for a D365 that stood alone and released annually. None of them survive the 2026 reality.

This playbook introduces the composable testing framework: Select, Configure, Automate. A pre-built component library covering the standard processes of F&O, Supply Chain, Sales, Customer Service, and Project Operations. Natural-language authoring that puts test ownership with the functional consultants who already understand the process. AI-driven self-healing that handles Wave release maintenance automatically.

Inside: a diagnosis of where current approaches break down, the framework in detail, an architecture for end-to-end validation across the connected ecosystem, a model for turning Wave releases from event into rhythm, and a thirty-day adoption plan you can start this week.
