RSAT is being deprecated. Here's your testing continuity plan.

Microsoft is ending all support for the Regression Suite Automation Tool on May 15, 2027 — no more bug fixes, updates, or technical support. If your UAT and regression suite still runs on RSAT, the question isn't whether you migrate. It's whether you do it on your own timeline, or a forced one.

RSAT isn't disappearing overnight — but the safety net underneath it is. Here's what changes once Microsoft stops supporting it.

May 15, 2027

RSAT's official end-of-support date

Zero

New features, bug fixes, or technical support after that date

Months, not weeks

How long enterprises report their RSAT migration actually takes

What RSAT's Deprecation Actually Means for You

Support stops cold

Every RSAT issue that surfaces after May 2027 is yours to solve. No patches, no Microsoft help desk, no roadmap.

Wave updates get riskier

D365's continuous update cadence already breaks UI-dependent tests. Without vendor support behind the tool, every wave update becomes a bigger gamble.

Audit and compliance exposure

If your UAT evidence depends on a documented, working regression suite, you can't afford to let it quietly go stale.

The clock is shorter than it looks

Migrating hundreds or thousands of recorded test cases takes real time — and it has to compete with your live go-lives and day-to-day operations.

TestSquad's RSAT Testing Continuity Plan

A structured path off RSAT that protects your test coverage, your audit trail, and your go-live dates.

Assess

Audit your current RSAT test library, map wave-update exposure, and flag which business-critical processes are still covered.

Plan

Choose the right replacement path — tooling and process — matched to your test complexity, compliance needs, and your real deadline before May 2027.

Migrate

Rebuild and validate your regression suite in the new toolchain without losing coverage, history, or audit trail.

Sustain

Put a maintenance cadence in place so the next D365 wave update doesn't break your suite again.
