Application development stages

The Business Process Server application development process is summarized as follows:
1. Determine the requirements of the application.
2. Determine the type of application to be created, that is, BPM Project or Web (formerly BPM Workflow). A BPM Project is installed in and run through Business Process Portal. A Web application also acts as a Web-enabled application.
3. Define the application properties, including its name. See Constraints when naming applications.
4. Define the process flow and information flow.
5. Determine the presentation format (interface) of the application’s process flow.
6. Verify that the application is complete. Publish and install the application.
7. View and analyze the results of the application. You can also create a simulation project containing the application.
