How to unit test a Service JSR 94 rule

 About Service JSR94 rules

C-2431Use the unit testing feature to verify that the operations of a Service JSR 94 rule function correctly before you add the external client to your testing process.

NoteUnit testing provides only partial evidence of a correct implementation. For more comprehensive information on testing services, see Testing Services and Connectors, a document available from the Integration pages of the PDN.

Before you begin, see How to provide test data when testing service rules.

To run a unit test, complete the following steps:

  1. Save the rule form.
  2. Optionally, select Availability > Trace Open Rule... to start the Tracer. See Tracer tool   — Tracing services. C-2430 byrnb 2/22/10

Select a radio button to define the source of request data values for this test:

  • Specify individual request values — This option appears only if the JSR94 input parameters are scalar values, such as strings, numbers, or booleans.

  • Invoke Initialization activity — A test activity creates values for the JSR94 input parameter values.
Input Parameter Values
