But…

With great power,

comes great responsibility

How to ensure that changes do not introduce regressions?

How to test processes from end to end?

The answer is clearly notmanual testing!

• It takes too long.

• It’s not scalable.

• It’s not reproducible.

The solution

• Hey BPM, there’s no need to re-invent the wheel…

• The software industry already has a best practice:

Continuous Integration

How does CI relate to BPM?

• A business process can be viewed as a complex algorithm

with different execution paths

• This similarity makes it perfectly adapted to automated

testing

When you can apply CI to business processes,

• You can limit the risk of regressions

• You save time compared to manual testing

• You guarantee that your processes can be deployed at any

time

Continuous Integration empowers Living Applications

• By facilitating Continuous Integration we help DevOps to

o ensure the quality of their builds

o quickly & safely apply live updates on their platform

o maintain Living applications over time

• This acts as digital transformation catalyst

So let’s do it.

• Although CI is a best practice, not everyone adheres to it

• Let’s make DevOps’ life easier by

providing the right tooling that

will help them,

and let’s use cutting edge technology
