🚨 Microsoft is deprecating RSAT: What does this mean for your Dynamics 365 environment? Big news for the Microsoft Dynamics 365 community: Microsoft has officially announced the deprecation of the Regression Suite Automation Tool (RSAT). All support, bug fixes, and feature enhancements will officially end on May 15, 2027. While the community has anticipated this shift for a while, the official timeline means it's time to start planning your next steps. Here is what you need to know: 💡 Why is RSAT being retired? RSAT was built specifically for D365 Finance & Operations environments. However, modern ERP ecosystems rarely live in a single application anymore. Today's environments span across external apps, Power Platform solutions, ISVs, and ecommerce platforms. Microsoft's focus is shifting toward broader automation strategies that support end-to-end, cross-platform business process testing. ⚠️ Automated Testing is Still a Necessity With Microsoft's evergreen continuous update model, robust automated testing remains a foundational requirement to reduce risk during updates. Manual testing simply cannot keep up with the speed and complexity of modern ERP systems. 🚀 What should D365 customers do next? Don't wait until 2027 to look for a replacement. Use this announcement as a catalyst to modernize your testing strategy now: 1️⃣ Assess your current dependency on RSAT. 2️⃣ Identify gaps and risks in your existing testing framework. 3️⃣ Start evaluating third-party automated testing solutions that fit your unique ecosystem (look for cross-app testing, low-code/no-code automation, and integrated DevOps support). How CEM Business Solutions Can Help Finding the right tool out of the growing market can be overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone.
