Orchestrating complex test and task automation with visual BPMN process models
Markus Stahl, Asko Soukka

Sometimes, a simple sequential pipeline isn’t enough for advanced automation needs. Learn how to distribute and orchestrate Robot Framework workloads by applying the fundamentals of BPMN 2.0 process modeling. Discover how to use executable BPMN models to coordinate complex, end-to-end test and task automation scenarios with Operaton BPM, Robot Framework, and the surrounding open-source ecosystem.
