Create a Test Run
Follow these steps to test a Process:
Click the +Test button. The Run Test window displays.
From the Starting Point setting, select the modeling object from where to start the test.
Optionally, select Manual Resume Point to stop automated testing at the selected step and continue the test manually.
If a Manual Resume Point is selected, all steps from that point onward must be completed manually.
Users must manually fill in all screens. Data types of controls and screen validations will be checked.
If a Manual Resume Point is not selected, the process will automatically flow and submit all tasks.
If a Manual Resume Point is not selected, data from the selected scenario or Additional Data setting will be used to auto-fill input fields in screens or request variables.
The same data will also be utilized to evaluate gateway conditions and route the workflow accordingly.
If no scenario is selected or the Additional Data setting is empty, all tasks will be automatically submitted without any data or conditions. In this case, screen validation rules will not be checked.
From the Scenario setting, optionally select a scenario. See details on how to configure a Scenario.
Optionally in the Additional Data setting, add JSON data for the test. You can enter JSON data manually or obtain it from the Data tab of a completed request of a process.
Select Bypass Scripts tasks and Data Connectors to skip running any script tasks or data connectors in the process.
Click Run to start the test. The test will run as configured and display results in the Modeler.
A complete summary of all test runs can also be viewed in the Test Runs List.
