Description

Test Data Rules contain one or more Conditions and Actions, which define business logic to be applied when generating test data. A Test Data Rule Suite can have one or multiple Test Data Rules. 

What is a Test Data Rule? 

• A Test Data Rule defines business logic in the form of a conditional if-then statement that can be applied when test data is generated. The business logic is defined through Conditions and Actions, which are specific to each rule. 

When should you use Test Data Rules? 

• Any time you want to apply business logic during test data generation.

How do Test Data Rules work? 

A Test Data Rule can have one or multiple Conditions and Actions. Additionally, they can have a Default Rule, which will be applied when no defined conditions are met.
