I'd also be keen on some ideas. As far as I can tellthere aren't any specifically for Livelink at this stage.

Areyou looking to unit test at OScript level, or are you looking at somethingmore/less granular?

One could possibly do some work withHTTPUnit towards doing HTTP/HTML based testing.

What sort oftest scenarios are you thinking of?

Regards,
Rolf.

Rolf,Thanks for your quick reply. I am thinking more of functional test. I would like to automate testing the workflow from the first step to the last one, going through all the possible decision paths and exceptional cases.One sample scenario will be kicking off an Accounts Payable document workflow, goes through invoice error correction steps, special approval required for amount bigger than $25K, and archiving the document to a specific folder.What do you think?Thanks.Peter

Funny thing that :-)

Almost exactly 11 hoursearlier, I posted the following idea to the workflow product manager :

Workflow testing

The complexities of testing a large workflow can be mitigated by usingsomething like HTTPUnit. But more importantly, I think some way ofsaving/exporting/importing the current status of a workflow could beuseful in order to allow for later "fast-forwarding" to a pointwhere a change to a step needs to be tested.

Anyway, some way of "saving" the state of aworkflow to allow for re-testing later steps would be great. I think onecould try setting up a test rig with HTTPUnit that could allow forsimulated use of a workflow. This involves some development work in Java,but if you're dealing with that serious a workflow, it may be well worththe effort.

Have you had a look at it yet? The home page ishere:

Rolf
