2026-02-10 –, Orchestrating complex test and task automation with visual BPMN process models
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.
Do you want to run distributed Robot Framework workloads—whether for long-running test cases, complex workflows spanning multiple applications, or integrated test and task automation?
Maybe you need to combine manual and automated testing steps.
Join us for a hands-on workshop on using BPMN 2.0 process modeling to orchestrate both test and task automation. In this full-day session, you’ll learn how to model, execute, and integrate process-driven automation using open-source tools like Operaton BPM and Robot Framework.
In this workshop, you will
Learn BPMN 2.0 modeling. Gain hands-on experience with freely available tools to design and model BPMN 2.0 processes. You’ll learn key concepts—tasks, events, gateways, and flows—and how to build clear, executable process diagrams for automation.
Execute BPMN process models. Discover how to deploy and execute BPMN models using open-source software. Learn the setup, configuration, and execution steps needed to run both test and task orchestration workflows efficiently.
Design BPMN-orchestrated end-to-end automation suites. Create process-driven automation that goes beyond simple test cases. Learn how BPMN can orchestrate complex, end-to-end workflows that combine system tasks, service calls, and Robot Framework tests.
Integrate Robot Framework with BPMN execution. Explore how to seamlessly connect Robot Framework tests with BPMN process execution. See how open-source tools can bridge business process automation and test automation for unified orchestration.
Participants in this workshop will gain practical knowledge and skills that they can immediately apply in their work. Here’s what they will learn:
BPMN 2.0 fundamentals: Understand core concepts like tasks, events, and gateways. Gain hands-on experience with freely available tools to create clear, effective, and executable process diagrams for both test and task automation.
Process deployment and execution: Learn the steps to deploy and execute BPMN models using open-source software. Discover configuration techniques for orchestrating both test and task workflows efficiently.
Integration of BPMN 2.0 with Robot Framework: Explore possibilities and limitations of BPMN orchestration in both testing and task automation scenarios. Learn techniques to integrate Robot Framework tests and task automation with executed BPMN models to achieve comprehensive end-to-end automation.
