For Business Process Testing, this field is read-only. The status of the test or flow is determined by the status of its business components. The component with the most severe status determines the test or flow status. For examples, see How ALM calculates business process test and flow Statuses.

  • Design. The business process test or flow is first created.
  • Ready. All the business components included in the business process test or flow have Ready status.
  • Maintenance. One or more business components included in the test or flow are being modified or are not yet complete, and have Under Development or Maintenance status (and no components in the test or flow have a more severe status).
  • Error. One or more business components included in the business process test or flow have Error status.
  • Outdated. One or more business components included in the business process test or flow are Obsolete.
