Visual Rules QA & Deployment Tools
With the QA & Deployment Tools, Visual Rules provides enterprise functionality that completely automates the build process and quality management.
Quality Assured Business Rules
Quickly changing and deploying business rules entails risks, particularly when several people in the company are working on a large number of rules. The QA & Deployment Tools help to ensure that the only rules that enter production are those that are logically correct and have been tested and found to be error-free.
Automated Quality Management
Business rules created with the Modeler, including their modifications and test cases are administered in a rule repository. The QA & Deployment Tools access versioned business rules and test cases and automatically make test functions available. These functions automatically execute the rules, run through the test cases, and generate test reports.
Only when all tests have been run successfully can the business rules be put into productive use. Complete documentation of the business rules is generated automatically.
Automating the Build Process
Using the QA & Deployment Tools, the Visual Rules build process is fully automated, from code generation to rule deployment.
Integration into Existing Build and Deployment Processes
The QA & Deployment Tools are based on Apache Ant and thus permit integration into existing build and delivery processes (e.g. Continuous Integration).
Quick Facts
- Test automation to ensure high quality standards
- Full traceability through automated test reports
- Automation of code generation
- Automation of rule documentation as HTML or PDF
- Seamless integration of rules into existing build and deployment processes (e.g. for continuous integration)
