In today’s podcast, John Siefert sits down with Magnus Perri, CEO, elevaite365 Test Automation, and Michael Catterall, Product Lead, elevaite365 Test Automation, to unpack how AI is redefining testing in Dynamics 365 projects. They discuss why manual testing overwhelms business users, how elevaite365 Test Automation‘s platform automates and adapts with AI, and how a community-driven script library accelerates implementation. It’s test automation built for real-world complexity and speed.
AI Testing, Real Results
The Big Themes:
- Testing Stress: Perri points out a systemic flaw in ERP and Dynamics 365 implementations: the burden of testing often lands on business users whose primary roles have nothing to do with quality assurance. This leads to rushed efforts, incomplete coverage, and high error rates. The fundamental issue isn’t lack of diligence, it’s misalignment. Elevaite365 Test Automation directly addresses this by reducing or eliminating the need for manual testing.
- Insight and Resilience Layers: Catterall describes how elevaite365 Test Automation’s platform doesn’t just mimic human testers, it enhances them. Once a user records a business process, the system converts it into a reusable, repeatable automated test. But what sets elevaite365 Test Automation apart is what happens next: It adds AI-powered layers that detect anomalies like incorrect field values, unexpected pop-ups, and subtle error messages that human testers often miss. This isn’t basic scripting, it’s intelligent validation that keeps evolving.
- AI Testing Brings Measurable ROI: While much of the conversation covered process pain and automation theory, the real value becomes evident in customer results. Elevaite365 Test Automation isn’t just a nice-to-have, it delivers real ROI. Customers using the platform have reduced their testing cycles from weeks to hours, lowered defect rates in production, and significantly cut the manpower required for UAT (User Acceptance Testing). Because the tool is embedded in real Dynamics 365 workflows, it provides test coverage for processes that actually matter like purchasing, invoicing, inventory, and more.
The Big Quote: “Testing is always falling onto the business users, not IT department … so you go into testing and you’re stressed, you have a lot to do. You’re thinking about talking to the next supplier, and while you’re doing that, you work through the testing as fast as you can, and you might miss stuff.”
