In October, I had the opportunity to lead a session at Camunda Unconference. This was a rather unique event, with an “unconference” format designed specifically for the community; it was most conducive to great peer-to-peer discussions, and exhange of ideas, experiences and learnings. What was also interesting was that the topics for the sessions were sourced from within the community, and each topic was voted in to a final shortlist. The sessions themselves were discussion-led, to encourage collaboration and creativity. Data in Process I had voted for “Data in Process” as one of the topics; it has always intrigued me, and needless to say, I was thrilled at the opportunity to lead the session! I have been consulting for customers building...

Welcome to the next post in our blog series: “Treat your processes like code – test them!” You can find the last post: “Testing entire process paths” here. Today’s topic is “Testing process dependencies”. For the execution of a model, there are often additional resources required. This might be source code or the dependency on other models.

We will get to know another library that will help us with testing: camunda-bpm-mockito. The examples for this blog post...

Hacktoberfest is a wrap! We’re so pleased that we were able to connect with so many of you from around the world.

Process automation has undergone a significant evolution in the past decade, but the next step is perhaps the largest of all: hyperautomation. Described as the convergence of RPA, AI, BPM and almost any other technological building brick of the digital age, Gartner sees hyperautomation as one of the top 10 most important strategic tech trends of 2020. As no single tool can replace humans, hyperautomation today involves a combination of tools, including robotic process automation (RPA), intelligent business management software (iBPMS) and AI, with a goal of increasingly AI-driven decision making. Source What is Hyperautomation?  In an interactive discussion between Camunda CEO Jakob Freund and Gartner Research Director Saikat Ray, at CamundaCon LIVE 2020.2, the pair explained that it’s important...
