Testing BPMN processes with fluent assertions: Awesome!
Sometimes this topic comes up in the Camunda Platform forum and I cannot stress & highlight this enough! 🙂 Writing test cases for your BPMN processes is a vital part of good process implementation. However, writing good, maintainable testcases can be cumbersome because you may have to write a lot of boilerplate code and the resulting testcases are often hard to read and understand. As a community extension, Martin Schimak has developed a fluent and well readable API, Camunda BPM assert: Awesome, right? Using the API frees your test code of a lot of boilerplate details, makes it easy to read and maintain. Without assert, that same testcase would look like this: From a project management perspective, the project is very mature…

Feedback Request: Process Implementation with XML & JSON Data and Scripting Languages
One of our largest customers approached us with the following requirement: “We want to implement BPMN processes, such that these processes work with rich XML and JSON data objects, but we are not forced to deploy custom Java Code.” Requirement (1) is a very common one. Many of our users and customers work with rich XML and JSON data objects. To do this, many of them implement custom Java Classes and use technologies like JAX-B or Jackson for mapping XML and JSON to Java. Requirement (2) is also a common one. Note however that in this case, the driving force behind it is not zero-coding. Our customer is a rather large hardware / software vendor and their product is deployed in…
