This episode is sponsored by XPLUS. Traditional regression testing in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations breaks down as complexity and test volume grows, but the causes can be hard to identify. Our guest, Bartosz Spiech from XPLUS, discusses how XPLUS's new software introduces a more effective approach based on smoke testing, autonomy, and observability. We also discuss how emerging concepts like agents and agentic UI are reshaping the future of test automation and what organizations can do today to move beyond manual testing.

Directions North America 2026 begins on April 27. MSDW is a media partner of the event, and in preparation for the event, we sat down with event organizing team vice president and content chair Trish Boccuti to learn more about what attendees can expect throughout the week. This year's event builds on past Directions North America experiences, Trish tells us, but also expands the agenda. The organizers have made a concerted effort to offer content relevant to Dynamics GP partners who want to learn more about building a BC practice. And there will be a wealth of Microsoft-led sessions on all the latest product and channel topics. We also discuss some of the event experiences, including the Marketing Day on April 26, session highlights, and the event celebration on the final night.
