Challenges of Testing Dynamics CRM

As discussed in the webinar, there are some unique challenges of testing Microsoft Dynamics CRM that Rapise has been designed to simplify:

Single page application that changes the contents without URL changes or page loads
Lots of nested IFRAMEs with changing ID values.
- The Rapise SPY lets you see the composition of the page DOM
Challenge with testing CRM grids when sort/layout changed
The speed of the application is very unpredictable with page load times slow randomly, making testing difficult
- Need to add timing synchronization since Dynamics is slow
