I created the first getting started for activiti-crystalball.

Topics covered:
- The First Simulation Run.
- Use simulation in design phase.
(BPM development cycle integration, development purposes reports, ….)

e.g. you can get report about your current test coverage:

Topics not covered yet:
- Use simulation in deploy phase.
- :arrow: Use simulation for monitoring. click on the link. I would say this example will be nice one.
Use simulation for optimization.

Do you have plans to setup some easy to use demo app? I think that will be crucial to get more people to try it out.

demo app

You are right jUnit tests are not sufficient. I will try to prepare demo app.

[jbarrez]

Great! Especially with simulation people just want to see it. looking forward to it. Keep us posted!

[gromar]

I was thinking about demo app (1 month - mean time I have copied support for variables from process engine to simulation engine 🙂 ).

I started already with demo app.
Please visit:
Getting started
there are several examples (and use cases):
The first simulation run
Use simulation for monitoring.
Costs analysis.

I would appreciate any comment.
Is getting started understandable?

[jbarrez]

Yes, in my opinion it's getting really understandable and usable!

As I said,if you combine what you have now with a visual demo (with a nice UI, people like nice UI's) it would be cool.
But this is certainly going nice!

Hi,

this project sounds very cool and more than useful. Is there any progress on a visual demo app?

Best regards

There are some news. If you are interested you can propose demo which you would like to see. 🙂
