I want to write a test for a task in the middle of a bpmn20.xml file.
At first I want to enter some values in the beginning of the  bpmn20.xml file and then jump to my task wich I want to test.
How should I start with the test, that I can direct jump to my task?
And is it possible ?

For example:
my  bpmn20.xml file:

<process id="myFILE">
      <startEvent id="start">
         <extensionElements>
            <activiti:formProperty id="stname" name="St. name"
               required="true" type="string" />
         </extensionElements>
      </startEvent>
      <sequenceFlow id="flow114" sourceRef="start" targetRef="createRequest"></sequenceFlow>
      <serviceTask id="createRequest" name="Create Request"
         activiti:class="org.process1.CreateStApp"></serviceTask>
…

other Tasks which I want to skip (inclusive some other exclusive gateways)

Here I want to start my Test:

   <userTask id="decideToBeABC" name="decide to be ABC"
      activiti:candidateGroups="Adv">
      <extensionElements>
         <activiti:formProperty id="stname" name="St. name"
            expression="${stAppInfo.stname}" writable="false" />
         <activiti:formProperty id="requestAccepted"
            name="Do you accepted this request?" required="true" type="enum">
            <activiti:value id="true" name="Yes" />
            <activiti:value id="false" name="No" />
         </activiti:formProperty>
      </extensionElements>
   </userTask>
      <sequenceFlow id="flow115"  sourceRef="decideToBeABC" targetRef="XORAAdOrNot"></sequenceFlow>
<!– XOR requestAccepted or not –>
      <exclusiveGateway id="XORAAdOrNot"  />
      <sequenceFlow id="flow63" name="Adv" sourceRef="XORAAdOrNot"
         targetRef="sendInf">
         <conditionExpression xsi:type="tFormalExpression">${requestAccepted== true}
         </conditionExpression>
      </sequenceFlow>
      <sequenceFlow id="flow69" name="No Adv" sourceRef="XORAAdOrNot"
         targetRef="furtherrr">
         <conditionExpression xsi:type="tFormalExpression">${requestAccepted== false}
         </conditionExpression>
      </sequenceFlow>

I'm afraid that's not possible, activiti forces you to follow the process-flow as it is defined. You should separate the logic to reach the certain step, in a separate method in your test. In other tests, you can use this method to move the execution until the point you want, and test from there (eg. startProcessAndCompleteToStepX()). This way, you're test will contain only a single line of "stuff" you don't want to test…
