Test your workflow!
Workflows can be complicated 
. Define a reasonable test scenario for your workflow on a test project or test system. Often, it is the only way to find errors before putting your workflow in production. Consider formalizing your workflow testing with GINT. In the future, a simple GINT workflow test example will be provided .
Errors
Post functions are run after the transition has already occurred - there is no turning back. If your post function has configuration errors, the JIRA server log is the only place those will be reported. When testing and debugging your workflow configuration, make sure you have access to the log and ensure your changes have not introduced unnoticed errors. If necessary, follow How to get problem determination information.
Post function ordering
It is important for workflow designers to understand how the order of processing can affect results. Some actions will not behave properly if done in the wrong sequence. Think carefully and try alternative ordering in your tests.
