Process of Testing a Workflow

This process is a step in Roadmap for Developing Workflow Processes.

To test a workflow process, do the following tasks:

1. Validating the Workflow Process
2. Preparing to Use the Process Simulator
3. Using the Process Simulator
4. Verifying Functionality

Before you deploy a workflow process, you must test it to verify that the workflow process you release to the production environment runs properly and does not cause conflicts with another workflow process. You can use the following guidelines to set up your test environment:

• Make sure the test environment and production environment contain identical software versions.
• To use realistic data, use a partial or full copy of the production database

• Validation and simulation tools, see About the Testing Tools
