Flow marker

A flow marker rule is a rule of type Rule-AutoTest-Case.RunRecursiveTestSuites that supports testing of flows. If an operator has the AutomatedTesting privilege, that operator can create and use these flow markers.

A flow marker saves test data and decisions that advance a flow execution to a specific point (mark). It allows you to jump directly to a specific point in the flow rule without having to input the same information every time to reach that point. In automated unit testing runs, the flow markers are used to advance the execution of a flow to that point.

Ordinarily, flow markers are created automatically as you test flows. They are not typically created using a rule form. However, you can open and review the Flow Marker rule forms.

Flow marker rules belong to a RuleSet and version, but they do not appear in the Application Explorer display.

For more information, consult the articles in the Testing Applications category of the PDN.
