Description

Requirements

Requirements are business features or functions that describe how your application should work. In Certify, identifying requirements is the first step in defining the Critical Business Process Certification and in managing the associated risks.

Maps

An application map is an inventory of the application components, and each map is unique to each application version within a project.

Processes

In Certify, a process is a test that you want to perform against your application. When you define a process in Certify, the components of the process should describe the how and what you are trying to validate.

For more information, see Getting Started with Certify Processes.

Data

Provides the information you need to work with layouts, variables, and recordsets in a defined project. A layout is a list of variables used to organize how data is displayed in a recordset. Recordsets refer to a set of data values used to loop through your application while a test is being executed.

For more information, see Getting Started with Certify Layouts and Recordsets.

Variables

A variable is a symbol or name that represents a value. In Certify, variables are an important component of the Business Process Certification because they provide a means of representing the data that you want to use in your processes.

For more information, see Getting Started with Certify Variables.
