Testing a Rule Specification
Test a rule specification to verify that the data flows through rule specification in the ways that you expect. If possible, use business data to test the rule specification.
1. Open the rule specification.
2. Select the top-level shape in the rule specification.
3. In the rule specification properties, click Test.
The properties view displays the input columns that you configured in the rule specification.
4. Enter one or more data values in an input column. You can enter data values for any rule set in the rule specification.
If you enter date data in an input column, use one of the following date formats:
- - yyyy-MM-dd
- - yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss
- - yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS
5. Click Test Rule.
The properties view displays the path of the data values through the rule specification.
6. Verify that the rule sets read the data values and write the outputs that you expect.
- - If you expect a data value from a low-level rule set to generate outputs on multiple rule sets, verify that the test results indicate a data value on each rule set.
- - If a data value does not generate an output on a rule set, the test results show an empty field for the rule set.
