Deploy, test, and extend

This article is step 4 in the Azure AD Graph app migration planning checklist series.

Test thoroughly

Once you update your app, test it thoroughly to verify that it works as expected and that you haven't introduced any regressions.

Test your app in different environments to ensure compatibility across various setups.
Utilize various data sets to simulate real-world scenarios.
Test with different user credentials, roles, rights, and responsibilities to cover all possible use cases.
Go through the entire lifecycle, including a new test user acquiring the app for the first time and an existing user (who already consented) using the app again.

Consider deploying your updates in stages to minimize risks and gather feedback early.

With the switch to Microsoft Graph, you can now unlock many more datasets and features.

Microsoft Graph supports many new Microsoft Entra datasets and features that aren't available in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Graph. It's the API gateway to Microsoft 365 services and Microsoft Entra services.

Check for new datasets and capabilities regularly.

Subscribe to the Microsoft Graph changelog to keep track of new APIs introduced to /beta (preview) and those promoted to v1.0 (GA).

If you run into problems or need help during the migration process, you can:

Review the checklist again
Post questions to Microsoft Graph on Q&A
Review Microsoft Graph samples to contrast and compare with your existing application code:
- Apps that use the REST API: explore quick starts and samples, choose your platform of choice and run through the quick start or search for an appropriate sample
- App that uses the .NET client library: review console-csharp-snippets-sample or dotnetcore-console-sample
Use Graph Explorer to experiment with Microsoft Graph.
