PeopleSoft Test Framework: Process.Run
The Basics: Process.Run is a great feature of the PeopleSoft Test Framework. Using this option wraps the running of a process up into just a few easy steps making the test script a lot easier to maintain. In this post I use a Object Type dot Action notation which corresponds to how a step would…
