In this chapter, we reviewed the importance of the testing and training phase of the project and how to execute successful testing and training through effective planning and execution using the available tools. The ERP system goes through different testing phases, such as feature testing, system integration testing, UAT, and end-to-end testing, to ensure the overall quality of the configuration and custom features. Testing the ERP system can be costly, and automation testing can mitigate that. Many improvements and new features have been added to Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition to enhance the automated testability of the product. Unit test framework is improved and integrated with Visual Studio to author unit tests for code artifacts and integrate with the build process. Task recorder-based test automation lets developers create a test script by simply importing the task recorder recording in Visual Studio. At the end, we learned the importance of test planning and guidelines for how to conduct successful testing. We discussed the ways to make UAT and end-to-end testing most effective by uncovering issues prior to going live.

In the training section, we discussed the importance of training and different enhancement and tools available in Finance and Operations for effective training. The new In-Product help pane integrates with LCS and Microsoft documentation to provide context-based help to users. At the end, we discussed the importance of training planning, execution, and best practices.

In the next chapter, we will learn about the final phase of the project--Go live. Go live is the final milestone of the project, and it's important to plan and execute to avoid any business disruption. In the next chapter, we will cover Go Live planning, execution, and tooling concepts in details.
