2.   Post download, run the file and click on install.

Configuration: 

1. Navigate to desktop and find RSAT tool shortcut with name : Regression Suite Automation Tool.                                                                                                                
2.  Double click and navigate to settings tab(refer below image)                                            

As shown in below image: We have different sections and for each section we need to provide inputs and perform test connection.   

                                              

     Section 1: Azure Devops:

             

            1. Azure devops url : https://<YourDevopsOrg>.visualstudio.com

            2. Access Token : It is generated by system admin who has full access to Azure devops. To generate a new access token, need to navigate to portal.azure.com --> Settings --> Access token.

            3. Project name : It is a lookup and by default the project name is visible when you connect to azure devops.

            4. Test plan : It is also a lookup and comes from the project name.

      Once above details have been provided, test connection button will ensure the input data correctness.

      When you click on that button, it will show below message.

             

       Section 2: Finance and Operations Test Environment:

1.       Hostname: <D365 F&O Url without https>.cloudax.dynamics.com                                    
2.       SOAP Hostname: <D365 F&O Url>soap.cloudax.dynamics.com                                      
3.     Admin username: Any user added in System administration --> Users (With System administrator role assigned)                                                                                                 
4.      Thumbprint: To generate a thumbprint, as we are dealing with Tier1 environment,        click on new button and it will automatically generate a thumbprint and the same will be added to trusted root certificates nodes in registry.

     Note: Copy the thumbprint number, it is required to change the config file(wif) of AOS service available under IIS manager portal. 

      To add thumbprint number to AOS service follow below steps.

•     Navigate to Internet information services (IIS) manager and right click on AOSService (refer below image).

•      Update wif.config file by adding another authority name (as shown below): 

                                    

                    

          <authority name="CN=127.0.0.1">

            <keys>

              <add thumbprint="<Copy the same Thumbprint generated when clicked on New>" />

            </keys>

            <validIssuers>

              <add name="CN=127.0.0.1" />

            </validIssuers>

          </authority>

            5. Company name: Legal entity name available in D365 F&O instance.

      Once above details have been provided, Test connection button will ensure input data correctness. When you click on that button, it will show below message.                                                                  

         

Section 3: Run settings

1.      Working directory: Just create a local folder where all the RSAT files will be placed. By default, these are placed under C:\Users\RSAT.                                                                                         
2.      Default browser: Provide either Microsoft edge/ Google chrome as browser
