Aletyx Automation Design for VS Code: Rapidly model executable representations of business policies, processes, and decision logic, using business friendly diagrams based on widely adopted open-standards such as BPMN and DMN (Decision Model and Notation).
Designed with developers in mind, this extension enables an effective approach for development and maintenance of business requirements, giving developers the flexibility to use modern technology stack in combination with business-friendly executable models.
Key Features
Process Design, with BPMN Support:
Create, maintain and preview BPMN-based business processes with readily available editors.
Decision Design, with DMN Support:
Model, maintain and preview automated decisions using Decision Model and Notation (DMN). Transform business logic into visual, repeatable, testable, self-contained automated solutions.
Test Scenarios for Automated Decisions Unit Testing:
Rapidly test decisions using Test Scenarios (.scesim), while maintaining good test practices as every tested business logic can be automatically executed alongside other tests of the service's test suite. Also available in two modes, for supporting multiple versions of the DMN specification.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Accelerate the development of BPMN and DMN models, by using a broad set of keyboard shortcuts.

Design Processes
When working with processes, you will have files with extensions .bpmn (or .bpmn2, currently deprecated).
Design Decisions
For decision automation using DMN, decisions are contained in .dmn files. With full compliance with DMN, write business logic with a wide range of "decision making" options, including the popular decision tables. Finally, rely on auto-complete features, including for "FEEL", a friendly expression language, part of the DMN specification.
Currently, you can work with DMN models using the latest released editor, or the Classic editor.
TIP: To switch between classic or modern editors, right click the .dmn file, choose the option "Open with...", and pick the version that best serves your need.
See more about the two modes below:
The latest DMN Editor, seamlesly gives you the latest and greatest of DMN, (DMN 1.5):
If you need to work with previous versions of DMN, the Classic editor is fully available:
