Who is the Azure Circular Team?

The Azure Circular Team (part of Microsoft’s internal IT organization) supports business-critical applications built on Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Warehouse Management App, and Power Platform. Ensuring consistent quality across these interconnected systems was becoming increasingly difficult to handle with only manual testing.

Manual testing meant 200+ test cases, handled by a dedicated test team, required at least two weeks of effort to complete a full regression cycle across applications. Manual testing meant that there was a high risk of human error, due to the tedious processes that slowed down their ability to keep up with new releases.

THE CHALLENGE

Limited testing scope

The Azure Circular Team initially used manual methods for their regression testing, followed by RSAT (Regression Suite Automation Tool).

• Manual testing: Time-consuming, error-prone, and unsustainable for frequent release cycles.
• RSAT: Useful for core Finance and Operations scenarios but limited to only this area, excluding any ability to cover broader apps like Warehouse Management and Power Apps. RSAT also has downsides including high maintenance and slow execution.

The team needed a solution that could:

• Simplify maintenance while ensuring complete coverage.
• Automate testing across multiple Dynamics 365 and Power Platform apps.
• Reduce test execution time from weeks to hours.
• Enable business teams to contribute without coding skills.

THE SOLUTION

Easy maintenance and usability

The Azure Circular Team adopted Leapwork to transform their regression testing through automation. Leapwork was able to address several pain points.

• No-code, visual automation: Allows functional testers to build and manage automation, expanding capacity beyond developers.
• Reusable subflows: Standardizes components (e.g., login, navigation) to accelerate test creation and cut maintenance overhead.
• Cross-application coverage: One platform to automate Finance and Operations, Warehouse Management App, Power Apps, and integrations.
• Azure DevOps integration: Automates flows executed directly within CI/CD pipelines, aligning with Microsoft’s release cadence.

THE IMPACT

Full ownership of development and QA activities

With Leapwork, The Azure Circular Team has:

• Laid the foundation for continuous, scalable regression testing across their Microsoft ecosystem.

• Enabled the team to automate 200+ test cases with far less effort, while maintaining reliability and reducing costs.

• Reduced regression execution from two weeks of manual effort to hours of automated runs.

• Expanded automation coverage across Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Warehouse Management, and Power Apps.

• Simplified test maintenance with reusable subflows and components.

• Shifted automation from a developer-driven activity to a cross-functional practice involving functional testers.

• “With Leapwork, we’ve been able to transform how we approach regression testing. What once took our team two weeks of manual execution can now be done in hours with far greater reliability. The ability to empower non-developers to create automation with reusable components has been a real game-changer.”
