Creating test cases with the workflow testing utility

The workflow testing utility allows you to create multiple testing scenarios for each step in a workflow that simulate inputs and show workflow progress; you can include pre-processing and post-processing.

One use case for this feature is a situation in which a user creates a workflow, and then one or more additional users need to edit the workflow. To ensure that all subsequent users are aware of all possible scenarios for a step, the original user creates one or more tests for each step that can be verified after every change to the workflow; this ensures that the workflow is functioning as expected.

  1. Click Workflows.
  2. On the Workflow Design page, open a workflow by clicking the workflow name.
  3. Right-click the step for which you want to create a test, then click Test Step.
  4. Click New Test Case.
  5. Edit the fields in the configuration dialog, then click Save.
    The new test case displays in the list of test case for that step.
  6. Click Run to run all test cases in the list.
    The page displays the status and result for each test case.
