Testing features in Blaze Advisor

1. Debug tools:

Blaze Advisor includes debugging tools that allow you to step through a project and monitor the execution flow, monitor changes to data values, and view the relationships between various project items. You can run a project directly from Builder, using local test data, or you can establish a remote connection to a deployed rule service and run debug sessions using data from your deployment environment.

2. Static analysis:

Blaze Advisor also has a tool called the Verifier, which performs a wide variety of static verification tests on decision entities in a project. It uses algorithms to highlight areas of potential conflict, inefficiencies in rule architecture, and semantic errors. Any discovered anomalies are reported in Builder, along with the type, severity, and the location in the project where they were found.

3. Unit test framework:

 Blaze Advisor also contains a test framework called the brUnit Module, which provides a convenient way of unit testing the components in a project. You can write and organize test cases into suites that can be stored in the same repository as your rules. You can run the suites in the test framework using Builder, an RMA or with the API. You can also use it with an ant script or Eclipse.
