Task - Pre and Post Execution Processes
The Pre-execution process and Post-execution process tabs in the task's Advanced settings enable adding pre and post execution processes to the task. The pre-execution processes run in the beginning of the task's execution, before all the related LUs have been executed. The post-execution processes run at the end of the task's execution, after all the related LUs have been executed.
Examples:
- Running a cleanup flow before executing the task's LUs.
- Sending an email to the tester to notify that the execution of a task has ended.
The pre and post execution processes are optional. A task can be created and executed without any post-execution processes.
The pre and post execution processes that are available for tasks, are defined in the task's Business entity (BE) and must be added to the BE by the admin user. You can select only pre and post execution processes from the list of processes added to the task's BE. Note that a given flow can be attached to a BE and to a task with this BE as both pre and post execution processes. The execution order of the pre and post execution order is set according to the execution order defined in the BE.
