Microsoft Dynamics 365 Performance Testing
Dynamics 365 (D365) applications can be particularly difficult to performance test due to dynamic data, authentication flows, and customized business processes. StresStimulus is designed to handle these challenges, helping you build realistic Dynamics 365 performance tests with substantially less manual scripting.

Understand Capacity, Responsiveness, and the Impact of Change
Dynamics 365 implementations evolve over time. Customizations, plug-ins, integrations, database growth, increased user populations, and platform changes can all affect responsiveness and scalability. Realistic performance testing helps determine whether the system will continue to meet user expectations under expected and peak demand.
How Many Users?
Determine how many concurrent users the environment can support before response times or stability begin to degrade.
What Changed?
Measure the performance impact of upgrades, customizations, integrations, and infrastructure changes.
Where Is the Delay?
Identify transactions, requests, or supporting systems that contribute most to user wait time.
Why Am I Still Seeing Errors?
Slow application performance can cause requests to time out or fail during actual use, resulting in errors that did not appear during functional testing.
Did Optimization Help?
Compare repeatable tests before and after tuning to verify whether an optimization delivered a measurable improvement.
Why Dynamics 365 Performance Tests Are Hard to Build
Dynamics 365 generates large amounts of dynamic application data and uses security tokens, cookies, authentication mechanisms, request-specific identifiers, and application state that can change from one session to another. Customized implementations can introduce additional dynamic behavior.
A recorded test may look correct but fail during replay when stale values from the original session are sent back to the application. Those dependencies must be identified and correlated before the same business workflow can be executed reliably by many virtual users.
Why This Matters
In many performance testing tools, resolving these dependencies requires substantial manual correlation and scripting. StresStimulus is designed to automate much of this work.

Record a real D365 business process, let StresStimulus prepare it for reliable multi-user replay, configure the workload, generate load, and analyze the results.
Record the Workflow
Capture real user actions from a browser, app, or another HTTP-based client, like Unified Service Desk.
Auto-Correlate
Automatically handle most dynamic parameters required for reliable replay.
Configure the Test
Set workload, test data, validations, transactions, and execution options.
Generate Load
Run virtual users locally or across distributed on-premises and cloud load generators.
Analyze Results
Review user-facing response, requests, transactions, errors, resources, trends, and regressions.
Test Critical Workflows and Find What Is Slowing Them Down
The value of Dynamics 365 performance testing goes beyond measuring overall system capacity. StresStimulus lets you test the business workflows users depend on and then analyze the performance of those workflows to identify where delays occur.
Create realistic tests around activities such as sales and customer service processes, Finance & Operations workflows, record searches and updates, customized forms, integrations, and other business-critical transactions. Run those workflows under load to measure how performance changes as user activity increases.
When performance degrades, StresStimulus helps trace the problem from the user transaction down to the underlying requests and supporting systems. Detailed performance metrics, server monitoring, and application telemetry help identify slow requests, transactions, infrastructure bottlenecks, and other contributors to poor response times.

Expert Scripting Support for Dynamics 365
Even advanced automation cannot anticipate every customized Dynamics 365 implementation. When a scenario requires additional correlation, authentication handling, data configuration, or custom scripting, StresStimulus experts can work directly with the test.
Complete scripting and test configuration services are available through Premium Support, helping customers move from a recorded business process to a working performance test without requiring deep scripting expertise. Customers can schedule scripting sessions with StresStimulus experts at any time through our online scheduling app.
