Testing DMN Tables Automatically

One key feature of DMN tables is that they enable business people to provide Business Rules in an intuitive way – like creating an Excel sheet. As a developer you get the DMNs and you integrate them into the BPMN-Process. But how can you make sure that DMN works as expected? With this in mind I started the DMN Table Tester Project with these main goals: Interested? Then let me show you how it works with this simple DMN: Configure your Test The Tester provides a simple User Interface that lets you define a DMN Test in no time. Here is an example: Run the Test This shows you that the DMN is correct: Each Test Case is one row,…

How can you Teach a Workflow to Execute a specific task?

If you read the first article in this series, I might have been able to convince you about executable processes? In this blog, the second in the series, I would like to go a step further and show you, with Restzeebe, how concrete tasks within processes are executed by a workflow engine. All my examples use Camunda Cloud. I don’t know of any other solution that executes workflows models in BPMN in the cloud. But now to the real thing. How can you teach a workflow to execute a specific task? I don’t want to go into too much detail, but with Camunda Cloud it works like this: Zeebe, the underlying engine, uses a PubSub system for workers. A worker is essentially the software that executes…

Beyond RPA: How to Build Toward End-to-end Process Automation

Robotic Process Automation has come of age, with Forrester Research predicting the RPA market revenue is on target to reach $2.9 billion this year. It’s not hard to see why this market is maturing fast, with RPA promising an easy and quick fix to automate many of the manual, repetitive tasks that require manual data input or an exchange of data with an inflexible legacy system. RPA bots can be deployed quickly and deliver an immediate productivity boost, not to mention significant cost savings. But with so many tools available on the market — you can find everything from vendors promoting low-code solutions to code-heavy approaches, all marketed under the RPA banner —  it’s becoming imperative to differentiate RPA from…

Is there an alternative to spaghetti?

When it comes to food, definitely not. Spaghetti Bolognese needs few ingredients, is quickly prepared and always tastes great – at least to me 😉 But what I am actually getting at? Spaghetti Code. In contrast to a meal, Spaghetti Code is not eaten up in a few minutes. It stays, is extended, changes, grows and grows and grows. It is the same with microservices. If you start with microservices, you always have to consider how fine-grained services are cut. In the end, the spaghetti effect shifts from code to orchestrating components. This component must know all the small services and connect them with each other. The same can be found in manual activities that have not been automated or…

chor-js – an Editor for BPMN Choreography Diagrams

Let’s say you are craving your favorite pizza from that pizza place a ten-minute walk away. You call them up, place your order, and are then asked whether you would like to have the pizza delivered or pick it up yourself. In your mind, you think about how convenient it would be to have a delivery driver knock on your door and hand you the pizza within half an hour or so, but then again it is only a short walk, and some fresh air would really do you good… Putting somewhat existential questions aside, what we just described is a prime example for a so-called choreography in Business Process Management. Different participants (you, the pizza place and the delivery…
