FM Test Harness
A Federal Methodology (FM) Test Harness to allow you to generate a feature file that can be shared with Oracle to assist with replication and review of FM NAC (Need Analysis Calculator) Service Requests.
This section discusses how to generate a feature file to test the FM NAC.
Note: For the 2023-2024 and prior Aid Years, the result of both the Federal Methodology (FM) and Institutional Methodology (IM) calculations for the amount of money that a student and his family are expected to contribute is referred to as Expected Family Contribution (EFC); FM EFC and IM EFC.
For the 2024-2025 and future Aid Years, FM calculation result is referred to as the Student Aid Index (SAI); replacing the FM EFC.
The FM Test Harness generates a feature file for the 2023-2024 and future Aid Years that contains:
The input fields with Personal Identity Information data removed or truncated sent to the FM NAC used in the most recent FM SAI/EFC calculation.
The response data from the FM NAC that is stored on the ISIR_COMPUTED table, including the intermediate and final SAI/EFC calculations, edits, and rejects applied.
