Business value

Retailers or partners can use test recorder and business process modeler (BPM) in Lifecycle Services (LCS) to create user acceptance test libraries for point of sale (POS). Task recorder is a powerful tool for recording test cases. The test cases can then be organized by business process using BPM. BPM can be synchronized with Azure DevOps to automatically create test cases (including test steps) in an Azure DevOps project. Azure DevOps can then serve as a test configuration and test management tool where users can create targeted test plans and test suites, manage the execution of tests, and investigate results. The test can support omnichannel scenarios; for example, create an order in Retail and pick up in a store using the POS.

The following is an example of the end-to-end flow that is available with this functionality:

  • Author and execute business cycle tests on any environment that can access POS and via a web browser.

  • Validate against expected values.

  • Chain-test cases (end-to-end test) by passing parameters from one test case to the next.

  • Use Azure DevOps to manage test suites, test runs, and investigate test results.

  • Author and distribute by doing the following:
