Back Forward Designer Studio – How to unit test a rule with the Run Rule feature

  

The Run toolbar button (Run) opens the Run Rule window for the currently displayed rule. You provide test data and then PRPC runs the rule and displays the results. If the results are not what you expected, modify the rule and test it again.

The appearance of the Run Rule window varies across rule types, so how you run a rule varies by its type. In general, you complete the following kinds of tasks:

The Run Rule feature uses rule resolution when running the rule. If you click the Run button but a higher version exists of the rule that you currently have open, PRPC displays a status message stating it will run the higher version. Accordingly, to test a circumstanced or time-qualified rule, ensure that the circumstances are correct for the rule. Otherwise, the base (unqualified) rule runs instead of the one you intend to test.
