Abstract
Provided is a system and method which enables a workflow to be tested while keeping the workflow active by cloning a copy of an underlying job and executing the cloned job in parallel with the underlying job. In one example, the method may include executing an original job on data in a production environment, where the original job comprises machine-readable code of a predefined flow, in response to receiving a simulation request, creating a clone of the original job which comprises an independent execution state from the original job, executing the cloned job for a limited number of runs on one or more events, and storing the processing results of the cloned job.
