VisiRule AutoAudit
Automated Testing Harness
VisiRule AutoAudit provides a fully automated and semi-automated testing harness so that you can validate the logic in charts. Checking and verifying results using regression testing is an essential part of gaining trust and confidence in the automation of sensitive processes.
Simple Mode
Single Click
In its simplest mode, you can, with a single click, generate and execute a file of random test data. This creates a file of results that you can view in, say, Excel, and an associated output log which shows how each answer was reached.
Advanced Mode
Semi-automated testing and validation
In the more advanced mode, you can also manually produce test data, compose and execute different test data files, customize the content of the output logs, and most importantly, compare the results of different versions of your charts, to see what effect, if any, your edits have had.
Preparing the Data
You can edit the data, in say Excel, to focus on specific ranges and combinations of values that are of concern. You can build up a test suite of known problem cases to use say any time the knowledge in the chart is revisited.
Executing the Data
You can select which test data file to use by name. You can use the same data with two different versions of a chart. You can execute a chart against various different sets of test data.
Comparing Results
You can nominate any two sets of results to compare for any divergence.
Spotting the Difference
AutoAudit will compare the results between the two runs and report on any cases which diverge. This means that you can check to see if the changes you have made to the chart have had any unintended consequences.
