Dynamics AX is a next-generation ERP system that can be customized in any area to provide a competitive edge by facilitating ERP implementations that follow the time-proven processes being used by businesses. This ERP system not only provides additional flexibilities but also has some other unique features such as its layered customization approach, separation of language elements from code, feature keys, etc. All these features add great value allowing implementation of solutions in a flexible, cost-effective, risk-free, and timely manner but these things may add challenges in quality assurance of these solutions.
This book discusses the methodology to ensure quality standards in Dynamics AX customization projects and IBI-compliant independent software vendor application development. Dynamics AX customization is not equivalent to fresh application development; however, Dynamics is so flexible that it allows customization in almost all areas, which poses greater challenges for correctness, accuracy, and trustworthiness of customized Dynamics AX-based ERP solutions.
This book discusses the quality expectations from Dynamics AX-based ERP solutions, best practices that need to be followed to meet the quality expectations, and the strategies to test a customized Dynamics AX ERP application.
