Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus configured to execute a workflow including a plurality of processes and hold history information of the workflow, the information processing apparatus comprising: an instructing unit configured to instruct such that a test workflow regarding a workflow selected to be executed is executed; a generating unit configured to generate a first test workflow regarding the selected workflow; an executing unit configured to execute the first test workflow regarding the selected workflow; a first determination unit configured to determine whether the first test workflow has been executed or not after determining the first test workflow regarding the selected workflow has been stored; a second determination unit configured to determine whether an access right of a storage region which is used for a storing process comprised in the selected workflow is changed or not after determining the first test workflow regarding the selected workflow has stored; and a display control unit configured to display a selecting screen to accept that the first test workflow is to be executed again or not when the first determination unit determines that the first test workflow has been executed, wherein the executing unit executes the first test workflow when re-executing of the first test workflow is accepted by using the selecting screen, wherein the generating unit generates a second test workflow for the selected workflow when the second determination unit determines that the access right of the storage region is changed, the generating unit generates the second test workflow at least by adding a process not held in history information to processes of the second test workflow, without adding a process held in the history information to the processes of the second test workflow, and wherein the executing unit executes the second test workflow generated by the generating unit.
