Test an Application’s Activation

As a developer, you can activate an application in a runtime test environment. You can activate one version of the application at a time.

To perform a test activation:

1. Save any changes to your application, and publish it.
2. Click Test.
3. Select which version of the application to test. You can test the Current Application, the Last Published Version, or any available snapshot.
4. Click Activate. The Activate to Test dialog box opens.
5. Select the Add Me to All Roles check box so that you can perform the user tasks, and then click Activate.
6. Click Try in Test Mode to go to the runtime test environment and test your process as an end user.

   The runtime test environment provides the following information:

   • A list of applications that you can start

   • A list of process instances that are related to you

   • A list of tasks that are related to you

   • The Manage Roles and Manage Credentials administration actions.

     Note:

     On the Manage Roles page, process developers can see only roles for the processes for which they’re the process owner. All other data is protected and available only to administrators.

     The Manage Credentials page shows only the keys that are created for test data. Production keys are protected and available only to administrators.

If you sign out of the runtime environment and want to return to testing mode, sign in again, and append the following information to the URL:

?mode=test&showMode=true
