This webinar is about the use of TM Forum Frameworx eTOM best-practice process models for the generation of end-to-end test cases.

• Gain insights into a methodology of how to align the business with the IT view
• How to incorporate Enterprise Architect for modeling and test automation in your test management strategy
• Live demonstration showing eTOM-based process models with Enterprise Architect for test automation with tools like HP ALM

A systems development life cycle (SDLC) platform can be built with a best-of-breed approach using BPM, requirements, development and testing tools from different vendors. In such a scenario the BPM-X model bus and transformation tools are very helpful in combining various tools and methodologies to establish a continuous development process.

Modeling with BPMN™ 2.0 is nowadays a very common case for documentation and automation of business processes. However, the testing of complex models is not an easy task. BPM-X® processes BPMN™ models from tools like CAMUNDA, generates test cases and uses tools like HP ALM for test execution and automation.

Business analysts often spend a lot of time and efforts when it comes to creating a nice decomposition of an organization´s business architecture. Typically the architecture design is driven by organizational or business area requirements. Depending on the frameworks used such as SCOR®, APQC® or DODAF and NAF the process levels describing the implementation of IT systems  may yield to a quite complex architectural construct of nested diagrams and viewpoints. This really challenges QA teams to prepare test-cases for integration and regression tests in the context of user-acceptance testing (UAT) of end-to-end process flows. Here the reverse decomposition technique facilitates the design of perfect test-cases for manual and automated test execution.

Sparx Systems™ Enterprise Architect is a widely used tool for process mapping and modeling just as HP ALM is the leading tool in the market for test management. Combining both tools proves the formula 1 + 1 = 3 to be true: benefit from both the added value of leveraging business process models for requirements management and generating model-based test cases.

EuroSTAR 2016 is the 24th installment of Europe’s favorite software testing conference. If you love the craft of software testing and are passionate about evolving your profession and being part of that community then you really should be there with us in Stockholm, Sweden (31 Oct – 03 Nov) and meet the TransWare BPM-X® team.

The QA&TEST® conference’s intention to diffuse the latest technological developments in Software Testing and Quality Assurance, and will showcase successful best practices, which may give you a lead in Global Competition.

Surveys from leading analysts tell that Microsoft Visio® is the tool that is used for more than 70% of business process management (BPM) scenarios. In complex IT applications like SAP® ERP or Oracle® ERP projects, consultancies and system-integrators create business blueprint documentation with Microsoft Visio®. With the integration of Visio® into the leading test-management suite HP ALM, our R&D team has closed the so far open gap between requirements and process management on one side and the test management of complex IT applications on the other side.

In test management it's a long and ongoing discussion if a better a system model or a specific test model should be elaborated to describe the behaviour of a SUT (system under test). In this post we include a webinar to present the BPM-X approach of using system models for test-case generation. Existing models like process flow documentations or ERP blueprints are re-used and improved to derive test-cases by the concept of model-based testing.
