Developing complex workflow schemes

Hi everyone,

 

The workflow schemes we develop for our customers often include several workflows.

This poses some difficulties:

  • logic is scattered over transitions (post-function/validators/) and one has to switch tabs to figure it out;
  • (almost) nowhere to put a comment explaining motivation;
  • dependent workflows need to be changed together;
  • versioning using individual workflow backups and schema switch.

 

Now imagine all workflows are stored in VCS as OSWorkflow XML files. This gives us quick and easy navigation, search, replace, change management, CI automation etc.

I'd consider adopting something that solves the problem rather than supporting my own tooling.

Thanks!

P.S. I know a question about workflow change history has been already asked and one of the answers suggested storing workflow XML in VCS, but I think my question is broader.
