This chapter describes how to test your workflow process before you deploy it. It includes the following topics:

• About the Validate Tool
• About the Testing Tools
• Process of Testing a Workflow Process
• Troubleshooting Workflow Process Simulation

In Siebel Tools you can use the Validate Tool to check a workflow process for semantic consistency errors and the Process Simulator to test the process for logic errors. You can also test a workflow process by using the business service simulator, and in real time by using the run-time environment. The tool you use to test your workflow process depends on the type of process you are testing.
