In prior iSM releases, there were only two options of test running a process flow within iIT:
Test run against a registry is seamless. All process flow dependencies are published to the registry. However, in a multi-application, multi-developer environment, there is the risk of process flows conflicting. This can cause process flows to rewrite dependencies or missing dependencies. Test run against a test server or admin server can guarantee that the process flow has all of the required dependencies. However, building a test server with all of the required dependencies is an involved, multiple step operation.
As of iSM Version 6.1.5, a third option is available to test run the process flow against a disposable test server, which is created automatically and then disposed of upon the completion of the test.
This feature provides several key enhancements:
The following steps outline the process of using the new test run option:
The option to run the process flow against the disposable test server is available under the Main tab of Run Configurations pane.
The Test Server tab enables you to configure a specific application with an optional template to be used as a disposable server. If an application or template is not provided, a default disposable test server is created for testing the process flow.
