What is Process Testing?
Test your processes easily and safely before publishing to ensure proper functionality. The process testing feature provides the following benefits:
Automate testing: Eliminate manual, repetitive testing and automate multiple tests runs against a series of test data. Tasks in each test are completed automatically and validation requirements within Screens for Form Task are ignored.
Reduce time to delivery: Greatly accelerate the time to design and deliver sophisticated, complex Processes to production.
Increase the quality of solution delivery: Automate multiple test runs with different sets of test data. Rapidly evaluate, identify, and debug specific behaviors in the business solution.
Test without starting Requests: Process Testing mocks Requests using mock Request data. Therefore, Process Testing does not trigger log events nor affect Save Search results.
Specify the scope of the Process Test: You have the flexibility to either run processes from start to finish, or begin and conclude testing from a midway point, based on your specific testing requirements.
Test runs of a process do not count towards application counters and metrics. This ensures that your testing activities won't skew or impact the data you rely on for system analytics.
Running a Process Test is a two step procedure:
Create a Scenario to use for the test.
What is a Process Scenario?
A Process Scenario defines the scope of the test using mock Request data. Process Testing can run multiple tests using these scenarios, and tasks are automatically completed using the mock data
Scenarios can be created manually or by using request data from completed requests.
