Test and simulation customization
This sample demonstrates how to customize tests and simulations, and include your own key performance indicators (KPIs) in the simulation reports alongside the built-in metrics.
Time required
10 minutes
Prerequisites
You must have Decision Center and Decision Server installed on your computer to use this sample. Check that the sample server is started before you use the sample (see Starting and stopping the sample server).
Description
Normally, the Decision Center Business console runs tests and simulations on data in scenario files in Excel. The Business console can also run tests and simulations by using other data sources. This sample shows you how to use alternate sources.
In this sample, you do the following tasks:
- Run a test normally, and then run a simulation normally.
- Provide input data from a source other than an Excel file for your tests and simulations.
- Compute KPIs from a source other than the metrics.
You work with the following resources:
- Scenario data files
- Test suite definition
- Simulation definition
- Custom data providers (see Setting up custom data providers)
- Custom key performance indicators (KPIs) (see Creating custom KPIs)
- Custom Java™ code to define data sources and KPIs
