Unit testing a Service JSR 94 rule
Use the unit testing feature to verify that the operations of a Service JSR 94 rule function correctly before you add the external client to your testing process.
Unit testing provides only partial evidence of a correct implementation. For more comprehensive information on testing services, see the Pega Community article Testing Services and Connectors.
Before you begin, see How to provide test data when testing service rules.
To run a unit test, complete the following steps:
- Save the rule form.
- Start the Tracer by clicking . For more information, see Tracing services.
- Click .
- Complete the form as described in the following table, and then click Execute.
