Test planning during build
We establish the test workstream while configuration is still happening, so SIT and UAT do not begin with a blank page.
- Strategy & process coverage
- Scenarios, data & environments
- Ownership & exit criteria
Dynamics 365 testing specialists
D365 testing.
Done properly.
CoreTest365 gives Dynamics 365 testing clear ownership from implementation through go-live and ongoing change. We plan the workstream during build, lead or execute functional, integration, end-to-end and UAT testing, prove readiness with evidence, and maintain critical regression coverage after go-live.
Independent • Full-suite • Tool-neutral • White-label ready

Less test chaos. Better decisions.
The goal is not more test activity. It is earlier visibility of risk, protected implementation capacity, controlled business acceptance and reusable assurance after go-live.
01
Find risk earlier
Build process coverage and scenarios during implementation so gaps surface while there is still time to fix them.
02
Protect consultant time
Keep functional and technical specialists focused on design, configuration and fixes instead of carrying the whole test-administration burden.
03
Make readiness visible
Bring coverage, defects, retests, evidence and residual risk into one view that supports a real go-live decision.
04
Keep useful assets
Carry validated scenarios, evidence and process knowledge into regression, future releases and role-based training.
What we own
Testing should be a workstream, not an afterthought.
We do not need to replace the implementation partner. We take responsibility for the part of the programme that is often squeezed between build, business availability and go-live.
Cross-app & E2E validation
Validate that real business journeys work across Dynamics 365 apps, integrations and downstream systems — including the expected operational, customer and accounting outcomes.
- Functional & E2E testing
- Business & accounting outcomes
- Integration validation
UAT & readiness
Turn UAT into a controlled business decision with prepared users, data, scenarios, defects and sign-off evidence.
- Hosted UAT sessions
- Defect & retest control
- Readiness reporting
Data & migration assurance
Validate the data the business will rely on: master data, opening balances, transactions and reconciliation back to source.
- Completeness & reconciliation
- Finance / inventory validation
- Migration exception testing
Training & adoption
Turn validated processes into role-based guidance, so training reflects the solution users will actually work with.
- Work instructions
- Quick guides
- Train-the-trainer
Release & regression assurance
Keep critical business processes protected after go-live through Microsoft updates, ISV change and internal releases.
- Regression suite health
- Change impact & execution
- Evidence for release decisions
The CoreTest365 method
DISCOVER → PLAN → TEST → PROVE → TRAIN → ASSURE
A repeatable way to take a D365 programme from uncertain test readiness to evidence-based acceptance — and keep critical processes safe after go-live.
01
Discover
Learn the business processes, risks, integrations, roles and expected outcomes while the solution is being designed.
02
Plan
During build, create the strategy, process coverage, test scenarios, data, environments, ownership and exit criteria.
03
Test
Lead or execute functional, SIT, E2E, integration and regression testing while consultants focus on fixing the solution.
04
Prove
Retest, reconcile outcomes, maintain traceability, report residual risk and provide evidence for business sign-off.
05
Train
Turn validated, stable processes into role-based work instructions and practical learning assets.
06
Assure
Maintain critical regression coverage through Microsoft updates, ISV releases, new entities, modules and business change.
Three ways to use us
Use your people, our people — or both.
CoreTest365 can take control of the testing workstream without forcing you into one delivery model. Choose the level of ownership and delivery capacity your programme actually needs.
We lead your testing team
You already have business users, SMEs or existing test resources available to execute. We provide the structure and leadership.
- Test strategy, plan and governance
- Scripts, data and coverage control
- Coordinate users and hosted test sessions
- Defect, retest, evidence and sign-off management
Your people execute. We make testing run properly.
We test D365 for you
You need an independent testing team rather than relying on the implementation team or busy business users.
- CoreTest365 test consultants supplied
- Functional and end-to-end execution
- Integration and accounting outcome validation
- Defect logging, retest and evidence
You give us the system and scope. We do the testing.
Hybrid testing team
Our consultants handle detailed system and end-to-end testing while your users focus on business acceptance.
- CoreTest365 executes SIT / E2E
- Your SMEs perform UAT
- One test plan and defect process
- CoreTest365 leads both streams through sign-off
Independent execution plus business-owned acceptance.
Full Dynamics 365 coverage
Test the business process — not just one application.
CoreTest365 can support testing across the Dynamics 365 suite. We build the team around the scope, bringing the right module specialists together for cross-app and end-to-end journeys rather than pretending one consultant should know every product.
ERP & operations
Dynamics 365 Finance, Supply Chain Management, Project Operations, Human Resources, Commerce and Business Central.
CRM & customer engagement
Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Contact Center, Field Service and Customer Insights.
Connected ecosystem

Common questions
Where does CoreTest365 fit?
We slot into an existing Dynamics 365 programme without replacing the implementation partner or forcing a new delivery model.
When should we bring CoreTest365 in?+
Ideally during implementation, before SIT and UAT. That lets us build the test strategy, coverage, scenarios, data requirements and ownership while the solution is still being configured. We can also step in later for rescue, readiness or post-live regression work.
Do you replace the implementation partner?+
No. We can work directly for the client or alongside the implementation partner. Our role is to give testing clear ownership while the implementation team remains focused on solution delivery and fixes.
Do you cover the full Dynamics 365 suite?+
Yes, where the required module expertise is available for the engagement. We build the team around the scope, using the right ERP, CRM, integration and test specialists rather than claiming one consultant knows every product.
Can you work white-label for Microsoft partners?+
Yes. We can work under the partner delivery model and branding, with clear scope boundaries and no attempt to displace the implementation relationship.
Do you automate testing?+
We are tool-neutral. We first establish the right critical-process coverage, then automate stable, repeatable scenarios where it makes commercial sense. Automation and specialist technical testing can be scoped separately.
How long does an engagement last?+
It depends on the problem. A defined readiness review can be short, a UAT or rescue engagement can run across a project phase, and release or regression assurance can continue after go-live. We scope the smallest team and duration that can realistically own the outcome.

D365 Test Readiness Review
For a defined scope, a Test Readiness Review typically takes 3–5 days. We assess coverage, scripts, data, environments, defects, UAT and training readiness, then give the programme a practical recovery or execution plan.
