Test bench

Test bench is a powerful tool for dynamic workflow analysis, making it possible to detect errors, problems and misbehaviours. By using it, you can follow the execution of your workflow step-by-step with live information about all used variables, inputs and tasks.

Test bench panel is divided into two areas: on the left there is a simulation how the step will be presented in the clients; on the right there is a panel with variables available in this step with their values.

User can start the test bench by clicking on the Play button in the top right of your workflow window. Current element being debugged is highlighted on yellow, if two or more swimlanes are present both paths are being highlighted and user can switch between them by choosing proper tabs in the test bench.

When using several swimlanes, the test bench can impersonate as another user in the other swimlane(s) from this window that shows up when the workflow moves to another swimlane

User can go to the next step by clicking the button on the preview window. If step requires some action (eg. demands user to provide some text) you cannot move forward without providing it, just like in real execution. By providing different inputs and data user can test the workflow to make sure it works as it is expected.

If two or more swimlanes are present some steps must be completed before others to make it possible to move forward. Test Bench will prompt the user if action on another swimlane is needed.

Test session can be stopped by going through the workflow to the end or at any time by clicking the Stop button on the top right corner of the workflow.
