Step 3: Testing With Roles

In the Controls panel you should see the message Test environment ready. Click icon Open test application to access the test service:

The process table is displayed showing all processes available in your service. You can use the Start button here - or click on a process to opens its instance table. Here, you can also use the blue Start button to create a new process instance:

Role Test 1: Write and List Permission

Now create some test instances but do not finish them (see below):

If your order value is within the limit, do not click OK in the third form. Open the menu on top left and click the name of your process to go back to the instance overview:

If your order value exceeds the limit, you are currently not allowed to execute process step Check order. Click Back to Overview to display the instance overview:

Create at least two different instances:

• One instance should fit the order value limit.

• One instance should exceed the order value limit.

Now open both instances and check their behavior:

Role Test 2: Write and Read Permission

Switch back to your process and change the role right of lane Supervisor to Read. Save the change and open the application again:

Until now, your user did not have permission to perform the approval step. Therefore the instance that exceeds the order limit (created in test 1) is still available:

Create one new test instance that fits the order value limit:

Now open both instances and check their behavior:

Roles Test 3: Write Permissions for all Steps

Switch back to your process and change the role right of lane Supervisor to Write. Save the change and open the application again:

Open the instance overview:

Since your user did not have permission to perform the approval step so far, your test instance is still displayed in the instance list:

Open the remaining instance and check its behavior:

• You are able to open the instance.

• You can process the instance (you can click one of the two buttons in the form).

If you have confirmed or rejected, the form of the next process step is displayed:

Checking the Deployed Service

If you have followed all tutorials step by step, you can review the differences between a test service and a deployed service. So far, you have deployed the service only once in tutorial 4. The roles were implemented in tutorial 5. The deployed service should not yet reflect the implementation of the roles.

Open the deployed service:

Start the service to create a new instance:

You still see the order form created in tutorial 1 - without the label element created in tutorial 4:

And no matter what role permissions you store in the test service, you will always able to execute the Form_CheckOrder:

Congratulations - you have done it!
You have modeled your first role-based process and tested it.
