Test and Validation Operations Overview

Validate a rule specification to verify that you can generate mapplets from the rule specification.
Test the rule specification to verify that the output satisfies the business rule requirements. To test a rule specification or a rule set, you enter sample values in one or more data columns. Use the Test options on the rule specification properties to display the columns. You can cut, copy, and paste test data within the test area and between rule sets in the rule specification. If you open more than one rule specification in concurrent browser tabs, you can cut, copy, and paste test data between the rule specifications.
You can test a complete rule specification, and you can test each rule set in the rule specification. If a rule specification is not valid, test the rule sets to find and fix the validation error.
