Ready for the D365 2025 Update? Here’s How QA Can Save You from Post-Patch Chaos

The D365 Upgrade Season Is Here — Are You Ready? 

Every October, organizations using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) brace for the wave of yearly updates — bringing new features, performance enhancements, and security patches.
While these upgrades are essential to stay current, many teams face a common fear: patch instability. Business-critical processes that worked perfectly before suddenly face disruptions. 

At Crestech Software, we understand that fear — and we’ve built expertise around tackling it head-on. 

 

What’s Coming in the D365 2025 Update (Wave 2)? 

Microsoft’s upcoming 2025 Wave 2 update is rolling out across environments starting October to December 2025, introducing: 

  • Enhanced AI-driven insights in F&O modules 
  • Automation for repetitive finance operations 
  • New warehouse and inventory visibility features 
  • Improved Power Platform integration for cross-module workflows 
  • UI consistency and accessibility upgrades across D365 suite 

These are exciting updates — but with great change comes great testing responsibility. 

 

Why Patch Testing Is a Non-Negotiable 

Patch testing is not just about checking if the system opens post-upgrade. It’s about ensuring: 

  • Every customization and integration still functions as intended 
  • Regression risks are caught early 
  • Automation test suites are updated to match the new release 
  • There’s zero downtime post-deployment 

For enterprises running mission-critical processes, skipping or underestimating patch testing can lead to financial loss, workflow disruption, and user frustration.
