About Reily Foods
Reily Foods Company has been a significant player in the food and beverage industry since its inception in 1902. Headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, the company began with a focus on coffee and tea products and has since expanded its portfolio to include a variety of condiments, dressings, seasonings, and baking products. Today, Reily Foods Company continues to thrive as a key distributor of food and beverage products, maintaining a strong presence in the market with its diverse range of offerings.
Their Journey With Dynamics
Reily Foods used Dynamics AX for many years before upgrading to Dynamics 365 Finance. After going live, they did manual testing for the first few updates. After a few updates, they tried RSAT but found it required extensive knowledge of the RSAT tool and expertise in building repeatable automated tests. They found that working with RSAT didn’t save them time and effort after considering the maintenance of the RSAT tests. Eventually, they evaluated several automated testing solutions and settled on TheTestMart. They have been growing their library of tests over time.
Automation and Frequent Upgrades
Moving to Dynamics 365 Finance increased the need for testing automation, as manual testing became time-consuming and challenging.
Travel Was Required for Manual Testing
Before automation, Reily Foods had to travel to conduct on-site testing, which was time-consuming and logistically challenging.
They Evaluated Microsoft’s Test Tool, RSAT
RSAT didn’t provide any measurable reduction in the duration and costs of testing the D365 Finance updates.
“Automated testing is its one work cycle, and the tests must be maintained to remain effective. If you don’t have a dedicated testing team, you will want someone to help you maintain and update those tests. We are essentially outsourcing our testing to TheTestMart with their automated testing tool and Customer Care team. They maintain the tests for Reily Foods and ensure that everything keeps working for every update of Dynamics 365.”
