Test rule scenarios before they go live
Also listed as: Rule scenario testing & tracing enhancements
What is it?
Developers will be able to define test scenarios, sets of sample inputs with expected results, and run them against business rules before release, with clearer tracing of each run.
Why does it matter?
Rule changes are often checked by hand or only in full system tests, so errors can reach production.
Fewer rule defects in production and more confidence when policy changes.
