Typically, the third step in developing a business rule management system using Haley Expert Rules is testing the knowledge and rules before deploying them. Haley Expert Rules is the only BRMS that provides an integrated test harness so business or IT users can validate the output of their rule set to various example scenarios provided by user-programmable data sets. Multiple test capabilities are provided:

Test Cases
  • Use case test scenarios
Regression Tests
  • Automatically run a test for every test case
  • Compare test results across multiple test cases
  • Review audit of each statement that is collected using its module-independent id and label.
