When you run a Ruletest:

  • If the Ruletest is being run on the Rulesheet for the first time, or if the Rulesheet has been modified since the last test execution, Corticon compiles the Rulesheet.

  • Corticon applies the rules in the Rulesheet to the input data.

To run the Ruletest:

  1. Ensure that the Ruletest is open.
  2. Click the Run Test button.

The Output pane displays the result of the Ruletest execution. Any elements that are modified or added (as a result of the actions in the rule) are highlighted in bold. Any rule statements linked to the rule and configured for posting are displayed in the Rule Messages view.

Note: If no rule fires, the Output pane displays the same elements and values as in the Input panel, without any highlights. The Rule Messages view remains blank.

Any differences between the Output pane and the Expected pane are highlighted through color codes as shown in this image.
