Their Journey With Dynamics

JMP ran its business on Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 for several years before migrating to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance.  They were under the impression that once they got on D365 Finance, it would be the last implementation they would ever have to do. However, they didn’t comprehend the frequency of updates required by the solution. After going live with Dynamics 365 Finance, they manually tested the first few updates.

Manual Testing Limited Test Coverage

Manual testing was time-consuming and required coordination among team members, and it always left JMP concerned that they hadn’t covered every test needed to ensure continued usability after the upgrade.

They Evaluated Microsoft’s Test Tool, RSAT

JMP utilized Microsoft’s RSAT solution for about a year, but the level of effort required with RSAT was comparable to manual testing, and considerable additional costs were required.

RSAT Didn’t Save Them Time & Money

After a few years on Dynamics 365 Finance, JMP evaluated multiple options but ultimately selected TheTestMart solution based on the reduced effort required and the predictable costs.
