Testing decision services in the development environment

You can test a decision service by deploying it from Rule Designer to Rule Execution Server in the development environment, and then running it with a test application.

Procedure

  1. In Rule Designer, right-click your decision service.
  2. Click Rule Execution Server > Deploy.
  3. In the RuleApp Deployment dialog, click the development deployment configuration, and then click Next.
  4. Verify the deployment configuration settings, and then click Next.
  5. Verify your login credentials.
  6. Click Connect if you are not yet authenticated, and then click Next.
  7. Verify the RuleApp and ruleset versions, and then click Finish.

    After deployment, Rule Designer displays a report.

  8. Use a test application with Rule Execution Server to call the ruleset deployed from your decision service.
  9. Check the results to determine whether the rules run as expected.
