D365 Finance & Operations Performance Testing
- Analyze application performance across forms, workspaces, transactions, and business processes.
- Assess batch processing performance, batch chains, and scheduled jobs.
- Validate system behavior under realistic production-scale data volumes.
- Evaluate performance impacts of large master data and transactional datasets.
- Test and validate customizations, extensions, and X++ developments.
- Support performance testing of integrations, APIs, middleware platforms, and external systems.
Integration & End-to-End Performance Validation
- Design end-to-end performance testing scenarios involving D365 F&O and connected systems.
- Assess API, middleware, integration service, and data entity performance.
- Measure throughput, latency, success rates, and processing times across integrations.
- Identify integration bottlenecks and recommend corrective actions.
- Support enterprise-wide performance testing across D365, Azure, and supporting technologies.
Monitoring, Analysis & Optimization
- Monitor application and infrastructure performance during test execution.
- Analyze response times, throughput, resource utilization, CPU, memory, and database performance.
- Utilize Lifecycle Services (LCS), Azure monitoring tools, Application Insights, Azure Monitor, and related technologies to investigate performance issues.
- Perform root cause analysis and correlate application issues with database, infrastructure, integration, or batch-processing bottlenecks.
- Provide optimization recommendations to improve overall system performance.
Defect Management & Reporting
- Record, investigate, prioritize, and track performance-related defects.
- Provide detailed evidence and recommendations to development and architecture teams.
- Validate performance improvements following fixes and optimization exercises.
- Produce detailed performance testing reports, dashboards, and executive summaries.
- Support go-live readiness assessments and performance sign-offs.
Candidate Profile
