        Access
- - - - Break-down critical business processes into supporting processes
    - - Analyze the requirements to determine how many processes are needed to thoroughly cover each type of feature
      - Analyze the functional areas of the application to determine if any shared processes would make the processes more efficient
      - Verify that each process maps to a requirement covering a bussines function
      - Organize identified processes by business function
      - Adopt naming conventions
    - - Design for manual inteerntion omitted
      - All transactional or component processes should be created with the purpose of being used in an end-to-end test
      - Good data management helps to ensure the process will run withouth manual assistance
      - Include audit points
      - Test should be linear. Do NOT write logic into test logic
    - - Start with window name
      - Organize procsses into folders
      - Describe processes contained within the folder
    - - Applicatio ver
      - Window

      - Parameters
        
        Values to modify selected action
  - - - Representation of a value
    - - Provide means for representing data
      - It can be:
        
        Inserted into a field
        
        Acted on
        
        Stored for future comparison
      - Most common uses:
        
        Data-driven testing
        
        To ceate several executions in one single test
        
        Store or verify system data
    - - Create table or spreadsheet to define processes and variables to be used
    - - Project variables
        
        Specific to the project and most common used processes
        
        Can be used:
        
        Data window to define layouts
        
        In Process Editor to hold values of objects within steps
      - System variables
