Testing Event-Driven Business Processes

Today’s business climate requires you to constantly evolve IT strategies responding to new opportunities or threats. While the fundamentals of IT reliability, availability, security and manageability – are still crucial, rapid results are mandatory for business success. These business challenges can be solved by acting with agility – striking the proper balance between the introduction of leading-edge technology and the pragmatic application of IT. In this paper, we introduce a testing framework for business solutions dealing with complex and dynamic IT environments. Our framework supports testdriven development which facilitates an incremental construction of reliable business solutions that can be adapted to changes of a business environment easily. We compare our testing framework with model-driven development approaches and show how we applied it to an event-driven process management platform called SARI (Sense And Respond Infrastructure).
