​Hi all,
Doing research on Automated testing applications that do not require being a 'coder' developer.
I have found Leapwork, ranorex and tricentis which all have great reviews. The only one that states it is specific to D365 on prem is Leapwork.
Any other ideas, comments, etc. that can aid in my research would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Diane,

You can do some UI testing using Firefox, Selenium, and SideeX to record and playback interface actions. It's all free if you want to give it a try.

Hi Diane

You might want to check out North52's TestShield.  I haven't tried it yet, and I am not sure on what the status is, but I like the concept and their other tools are great.  In full disclosure, John and Bruce did buy me a beer once, but it in no way did it influence this suggestion. :)

TestShield | North52 Delivering high-quality applications is vital to an organization's longevity. Development has become more agile, but QA testings tools and processes have remained fairly static. Many tests are still run manually and the use of shareable, reusable test assets is often limited or doesn't exist. View this on North52 >

Cheers

EasyRepro is good, but it will require some coding.  I've also noticed some weird behavior with it, where tests will succeed one time and fail another, with no discernible changes. But, for me, being able to rile through 50 tests with no manual effort makes it worth it.

​Hi @Diane Stasiewicz


We use Telerik Test Studio to implement our automated test strategy. Has the ability to record tests and can be enhanced with a little bit of script, but doesn't require you to be a developer to get started. Our QA team really like it.

Hi Diane

Automation Testing with Dynamics 365 using Selenium
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf8n2UxWe0E

What I would suggest to make things easier is to put your automation code in a BDD framework. 

https://specflow.org/

This would allow you minimize and reuse code since a lot of ui testing is "repeatable" actions.

Cheers!

We are using EasyRepro, but it's not, really, codeless. The good thing about it is that Microsoft seems to be actively maintaining the open source project(see below) which does provide a good framework on top of Selenium specifically for Dynamics, so you don't have to write code from scratch and the tests look really simple (compared to any other type of coding). But, every now and then, something does not work as expected, so you may need to tweak the framework itself, and, even though the tests can be written with very basic knowledge of coding, you would need somebody more experienced to make those other changes in the framework.

I have researched on various D365 test automation tools. I found that Tricentis Tosca, TestComplete, Accelq, Microsoft EasyRepro, Executive Automats, LEAPWORK, TestModeller.io are not 100 self-efficient automation accelerators that can manage all possibilities of D365 automation testing, integration testing, API testing, Performance testing, security testing, etc. All these tools require support from a developer or a vendor to manage run time challenges. But if you focus on RSAT integrated with latest Selenium IDE based Frameium (I have used the testhouse version) combined with Microsoft easy Repro automation library, I was able to address many of the challenges and increase the speed of execution.
