Design tab of the Rule Test Cases dialog box—Option descriptions

Grid

Test Name

Name of the test case. By default, test cases are named Test<incrementing number>, where <incrementing number> is a number that starts with 1 and counts upward.

<item name>

Each item that is used in the rule expression appears as a field. You can provide test values for each item.

For more information, see Writing a test case for a rule or global condition.

Expected Result

The expected result of the test case. Multiple fields appear for data-entry rules with multiple actions.

• For data-entry rules:

• Rule issues a query—Select QUERY or NOQUERY.
• Rule sends an email message—Select Sent or Not Sent.
• Rule sets a value—Calculate and type the expected value. For example, for a BMI rule, use the Height and Weight values in the test case to calculate the value.
  • For workflow rules, you select the study object that you expect to appear next in the workflow, based upon the test case.
  • For global conditions, you select True or False, depending on whether the specified condition is true or false.
