Unit Test: Rulesets

Unit Tests are small, localized tests aimed at testing one specific part of your integration. The CIC Integration Engine gives you the ability to test Rulesets (in a complete or partial state) without having to deploy first using the Run Transformation feature. In fact, you can test a Ruleset before creating other objects like Business Processes or Adapters. This allows for regular testing, debugging, and observing specific results or behavior of the rules from directly within your transformation Ruleset.

However, before using this feature to test Rulesets, some setup is required.

Best Practices and Recommendations

Cleo recommends the following best practices when unit testing Rulesets in your Integration Projects. 

Create an extra project to house the data needed for testing.

• Use naming conventions to indicate that the Project and its resources are used for testing purposes.
• Create folders for your test data. For example, create folders for each Ruleset or different transactions, etc.  Then, add the specific files which represent the test input data and expected output for each transaction.
• Add your own documentation; explain what is needed to run the test data and include the acceptance criteria.
