How To Install A Microsoft Dynamics Ax Hotfix Applicator
Nov 18, 2011 This paper provides an overview of the principles used within the Credit Card Processing area of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 when the hotfix for KB979304 is installed. This hotfix provides support for level 2 and 3 data, the ability to require credit card verification,.
Is there some way that I be able to know which functionalities are related to a hotfix installed in Dynamics AX? Normally the hotfix comes with a list of modified/added objects (which I can create unit tests to it) but not with a list of modified/added functionalities, which is what I need. How do you guys normally test a hotfix?

You could look into the customer/partner source -
As my company is gold partner we receive each month a list with hotfixes, that describe the functionalities changes, so maybe you could receive same list if you contact your regional Microsoft contact.
UPDATE:
From here:https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/2016/07/DynamicsAXLatestHotfixList20160701.xlsxYou can download a list with hotfixes and short description.For KB3161035 - CDCR - Financial dimensions for Transfer Orders (TO)
The hotfix package that you provided has many more models that you actually need.Look in the Hotfixinformation.xml there should be information which models you need for KB 3161035.When searching in the file found that:KB='3161035' - needs only model: AxModel ModelId='4568521'
So you could cut all other models files from folder /models/ and leave inside the folder only ModelId='4568521' and syp labels. Then install the hotfix.
That way you could test only the functionality you need CDCR - Financial dimensions for Transfer Orders

Hotfixes are usually delivered as a module. Gamemon universal usb converter software download. To create a project with the elements affected:
- ToolsModel managementModels installed - find the model by sorting in reverse number
- ToolsModel managementCreate project from model - lookup the same model
Hotfixes are testet by having a failing testcase before the install, then installing, then reapplying the test after install (hopefully succesful). In an ideal world you would have two identical systems (application and data), then apply the hotfix to one of them.
Run the impact analysis before installing as explained here.
