Fields Description
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.
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.
