Unconventional requirement to CI systems need some thinking out of the box. How workflow management Camunda can help to solve complex demands.

When testing complex and global systems, more and more demands are placed on a CI pipeline.

Conventional solutions like Jenkins or Gitlab reach their limits where it became exciting for us.

The challenge was tests that ran over several days, as the reactions of the system under test could sometimes only be checked the next day or days later. During the execution, different process steps had to be executed repeatedly. Nevertheless, a continuous process flow should be visible and tester should be able to see the state of the pipeline at any time without deeper knowledge of CI systems.

In this talk, Nele Uhlemann and René Rohner will present how complex workflows can be realised unconventionally with open source solutions and how asynchronous tests can be realised with Robot Framework and its APIs in combination with Camunda.
