What does it mean for two rules to be ambiguous?
-
What does it mean for a Rulesheet to be complete?
-
Are all ambiguous rules wrong, and must all ambiguities be resolved before deployment? Why or why not?
-
Are all incomplete Rulesheets wrong, and must all incompletenesses be resolved before deployment? Why or why not?
-
Match the Corticon Studio tool name with its toolbar icon
Conflict Checker

Compression Tool

Expansion Tool

Collapse Tool

Conflict Filter

Completeness Checker

-
Explain the different ways in which an Ambiguity/Conflict between two rules can be resolved.
-
True or False. Defining an override enforces a specific execution sequence of the two ambiguous rules
-
True or False. A Conditions row with an incomplete values set will always result in an incomplete Rulesheet.
-
If a Rulesheet is incomplete due to an incomplete values set, will the Completeness Checker detect the problem? Why or why not?
-
Can a rule column define more than one override?
-
If rule 1 overrides rule 2, and rule 2 overrides rule 3, does rule 1 automatically override rule 3?
-
Are rules created by the Completeness Checker always legitimate?
-
In a rule column, what does a dash (-) character mean?
-
True or False. The Expansion Tool permanently changes the rule models in a Rulesheet. If false, how can it be reversed?
-
True or False. The Compression Tool permanently changes the rule models in a Rulesheet. If false, how can it be reversed?
-
If a rule has 3 condition rows, and each condition row has a Values set with 4 elements, what is the size of the Cross Product?
-
In above question, is it necessary to assign actions for every set of conditions (that is, for every column)?
-
If you do not want to assign actions for every column, what can be done to or with these columns?
-
Which Corticon Studio tool helps to improve Rulesheet performance?
Expansion Tool
Compression Tool
Completeness Checker
Collapse Tool
Squeeze Tool
-
How is the compression performed by the Completeness Checker different from that performed by the Compression Tool?
-
What is wrong with using databases of test data to discover Rulesheet incompleteness?
-
If you expand a rule column and change the Actions for one of the subrules, what will Corticon Studio force you to do before saving the changes?
-
What does it mean for one rule to subsume another?
