Learn why organizations are looking for EasyRepro alternatives and how Virtuoso QA outperforms other options with advanced, AI-driven test automation.
If you've implemented Microsoft's EasyRepro framework for Dynamics 365 testing, you've likely experienced this progression:
You're not alone. While EasyRepro serves as Microsoft's official open-source testing framework for D365, thousands of teams discover that what works for basic automated testing doesn't scale for enterprise D365 implementations.
This guide examines why teams search for EasyRepro alternatives, evaluates the top solutions available, and provides a framework for choosing the right D365 test automation platform for your needs.
EasyRepro relies on XPath selectors to identify D365 elements. When Microsoft releases D365 updates (twice yearly in April and October), UI changes break these selectors. Teams report 25-40% test failure rates after major D365 updates - not because functionality changed, but because element identifiers changed.
Real cost: A mid-size D365 implementation with 200 automated tests spends 60-80 hours after each update fixing broken selectors. That's 120-160 hours annually just maintaining existing coverage.
EasyRepro requires C# programming knowledge. While this gives technical flexibility, it creates bottlenecks:
EasyRepro tests are typically hardcoded to specific D365 environments. When organizations roll out D365 to multiple factories, regions, or subsidiaries, they rebuild tests for each instance because environment-specific configurations are embedded in test code.
Multi-instance reality: Companies with 5+ D365 instances report rebuilding 60-80% of test automation for each deployment. The same Order-to-Cash process gets automated five separate times.
When D365 UI elements change, EasyRepro tests fail. The framework provides no mechanism to automatically adapt to these changes. Every broken test requires manual developer intervention to identify the new selector, update the code, and redeploy.
As test libraries grow beyond 100 tests, EasyRepro implementations face:
When evaluating D365 test automation alternatives, prioritize solutions that address EasyRepro's core limitations:
The alternative should identify D365 elements using AI-powered recognition that adapts when Microsoft changes the UI. Look for terms like "self-healing," "visual identification," or "intelligent locators."
Business users and QA analysts should be able to create and understand tests without C# programming. This democratizes test creation and speeds up coverage.
Tests should work across multiple D365 instances with configuration rather than code changes. The same Order-to-Cash test should deploy to Factory A in Germany and Factory B in Texas without rebuilding.
The best alternatives include libraries of pre-built tests for common D365 processes (Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Financial Close, etc.). This eliminates the "build from scratch" bottleneck.
When D365 updates, tests should adapt automatically or provide clear guidance on required changes. Manual selector hunting should be eliminated.

Consider moving to an EasyRepro alternative if you answer "yes" to 3+ questions:
If you have answered yes to 5+ questions, the cost of staying with EasyRepro likely exceeds the cost of switching to a modern alternative.
EasyRepro served an important purpose as Microsoft's first serious attempt at providing D365 test automation guidance. But the market has evolved.
The best D365 test automation solutions in 2025 don't make you build from scratch. They provide:
Virtuoso QA Composable Testing represents this evolution - combining 700+ pre-built D365 tests with AI self-healing and multi-instance reusability.
The question isn't whether to move beyond EasyRepro. The question is: how much longer can your D365 implementation afford the build-from-scratch model?
Yes. Virtuoso QA's pre-built tests are designed to be configurable, not rigid. The platform handles approximately 70% of standard D365 processes out-of-box. Your customizations (typically 30% of functionality) are addressed through:
Most teams achieve 80-90% coverage using pre-built assets with configuration, then build custom tests only for highly specific customizations.
When D365 updates change UI elements, Virtuoso QA's AI uses multiple identification strategies:
If the primary identifier fails, AI automatically tries alternate methods. Tests continue running while AI learns the new element identifiers. You review suggested changes and approve them - no manual selector hunting required.
You have three options:
Most teams use option 3: keep EasyRepro tests that work well, replace high-maintenance tests immediately, transition remaining tests over 2-3 months.

Most QA analysts are productive with Virtuoso QA within 1 week of training. The platform uses:
Compare to EasyRepro's 4-6 week ramp-up time for developers with C# experience.
Yes. Virtuoso QA tests are environment-agnostic by design. You configure environment-specific details (URLs, credentials, tenant IDs) separately from test logic. The same test library executes across:
Virtuoso QA is SOC 2 Type II certified and supports:
Tests can run on-premise, in private cloud, or in Virtuoso QA's managed environment depending on your security requirements.
Virtuoso QA pricing is based on D365 modules covered and number of test executions, not number of instances. The same subscription covers:
This contrasts with per-seat or per-instance licensing models from other vendors.
Virtuoso QA's pre-built library covers standard D365 processes. For customizations:
Most teams find 70-80% of their testing needs are met by pre-built assets, with custom tests needed only for proprietary business logic.
