Regression suite automation tool (RSAT) for D365 Finance and Operations, Commerce
The Regression suite automation tool (RSAT) is used to reduce the time and cost of UAT (user acceptance testing) of finance and operations.
UAT is typically required before you take a Microsoft application update, or before you apply custom code and configurations to your production environment.
RSAT lets functional power users record business tasks by using a Task recorder and then convert the recordings into a suite of automated tests, without having to write source code.
RSAT is fully integrated with Microsoft Azure DevOps for test execution, reporting, and investigation. Test parameters are decoupled from test steps and stored in Microsoft Excel files.
Configuration:
1. Open RSAT application.
2. Select the Settings button in the upper right to configure RSAT. And next steps will help you to find those required fields input

To upload to Azure DevOps directly:
- Change the .axtr file extension to .zip.
- Open the .zip package.
- Inside the package there will be file with name Recording.xml. Upload the Recording.xml to the test case in Azure DevOps. Don’t upload the entire .zip or .axtr package.
