A work flow/process flow is a set or predefined steps that illustrate the progress of work being done.
Using workflow in application lifecycle management is used to track development progress of all ALM artifacts, such as project, requirements, tasks, test cases, defects and so on.
Most ALM tools allow the admin to set the default assignee upon ALM artifact state (status) change.
For example, a defect workflow manages the defect lifecycle, from creation to resolution.
Defect reported in status “New” and assigned to the team leader, who allocate the defect to the relevant developer. Once done, the defect status is changed to “Assigned”.
The assigned developer can fix the defect (“Fixed”) or reject the defect due to the following reasons:”Not reproduced”, “As design”, “Need more info”. In that case, the defect is routed back to the creator (Tester) for further investigation.
Full workflow examples will be given in the next posts
