Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to the aligning of a melting beam source in an additive manufacturing (AM) system. Methods of the disclosure may include forming a first test article and a second test article of different shapes on a build plate. The method further includes measuring a vertical scale, vertical alignment, horizontal scale, and an alignment of the melting beam source using the first and second test articles. The method includes determining whether one of the vertical scale, the vertical alignment, the horizontal scale, or the horizontal alignment of the melting beam source is not within a corresponding tolerance of a target specification. If at least one of the vertical scale, the vertical alignment, the horizontal scale, or the horizontal alignment is within the corresponding tolerance, the method includes adjusting the melting beam source of the AM system to align the melting beam source to yield the target specification.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating business process test elements for automated testing of business process application configurations. A business process application executes business processes, which are typically automated operations involving users and information systems, and are typically specific to a type of business. A business process test is a set of instructions for invoking a business process. The test invokes one or more test elements, which are building blocks that codify interactions with business processes. Each element includes a description of the input data accepted by an associated transaction or screen of the business process. The element can receive input from a user or simulated user via an input interface of the application, and can invoke the associated business process with the input. The element is generated based upon metadata information retrieved from the business process application.
