Validate Your Process is BPMN 2.0 Compliant
Validate that your Process model is BPMN 2.0 compliant before you deploy it to production.

Overview

Before you deploy your Process model to production, ensure that it is BPMN 2.0 compliant for the following reasons:
  • Minimize problems when testing your Process prior to deploying it. Regardless of whether your Process model is a self-contained business solution or one which calls another Process/is called by another Process, ensure that it functions correctly by validating its BPMN 2.0 compliance.
  • Ensure that if you export the Process, you will be able to import it later. If the Process model is not BPMN 2.0 compliant, you will not successfully import the Process.
  • If you share your Process model with either the open-source community or with other teams in your organization, ensure that the Process model is BPMN 2.0 compliant so that it is useful to others.
