I have externalize the steps to flow so i can reuse from 2 seperate jobs. I remove item reader chunk etc.

Code:
<batch:flow id="reusableFlow">
		 
		
<batch:step id="stepA" next="stepB">
		    ......
		</batch:step>


                         <batch:step id="stepB" >
		    ......
		</batch:step>
	
</batch:flow>

<batch:job id="job1" incrementer="dateIncrementer">

             <batch:step id="job1Step" next="commonStep1">
		</batch:step>
		<batch:step id="commonStep1">
			<batch:flow parent="reusableFlow" />
		</batch:step>
	
</batch:job>
<batch:job id="job2" incrementer="dateIncrementer">

<batch:step id="job2Step" next="commonStep2">
		</batch:step>
		<batch:step id="commonStep2">
			<batch:flow parent="reusableFlow" />
		</batch:step>
	</batch:job>

</batch:job>




when i want to test steps inside flow giving me error step not found

when i debug then job2 for example contains only 2 steps job2Step and commonStep2 i can test these 2 steps from junit but can't steps defined in flow

Code:
assertEquals(BatchStatus.COMPLETED,
				jobLauncherUtils.launchStep("stepA",jobLauncherUtils.getUniqueJobParameters())
				.getStatus());
