 All identified defects have been resolved. (“Resolved”

Business Process Test
When it comes to the Business Process Test, we want to make
sure to test the various possible business function sequences. In
our flight-booking example, the possible process is shown in
Figure 7.

It’s important to test each possible connection between the
business functions once. The focus is the transition from one
business function to the next and not the functional correctness
of the single business function (addressed during the Business

Possible quality gates for the Business Process Test might be:
 All end-to-end processes can be executed.
 A workaround exists for all defects found.
