  • Method to design and test workflows
    Patent number: 10831510
    Abstract: For workflow test, a processor executes a workflow instance. The workflow instance includes a first workflow description of step names for a plurality of jobs. The processor further receives a modification to the first workflow description as the workflow instance executes. In addition, the processor synchronizes the modified workflow description to the executing workflow instance as the workflow instance executes. A workflow context of the executing workflow instance is preserved.
