Defining expected test results with assertions

Use unit test cases to compare the expected output of a rule to the actual results returned by running the rule. To define the expected output, you configure assertions (test conditions) on the test cases that the test, when run, compares to the results returned by the rule.

When a test runs, it applies assertions in the order that you define them on the Definition tab of the test case. All assertions, except for run time assertions, must pass for the test to be successful.

For example, an account executive wants to ensure that a 10% discount is applied to all preferred customers. You can create a test case that verifies that this discount is applied to all preferred customers in the database. If the test does not pass, the results indicate where the 10% discount is not applied.
