Story

A QA Tester needs to generate customer data that includes the customer's name, account number, account balance, and reward level based on each current account balance. Four reward levels can be assigned: 

• Platinum
• Gold
• Silver
• Bronze

When none of the defined conditions are met, the reward level must be set to "Basic". A Test Data Rules Suite can be set up with the rules (i.e. business logic) for assigning the reward level based on each customer's account balance.

Test Data Rule 1

IF (Customer.balance >= 10000) 
THEN Customer.rewardLevel = "Platinum"

Test Data Rule 2

IF (Customer.balance >= 5000 && Customer.balance <= 9999)
THEN Customer.rewardLevel == "Gold"

Test Data Rule 3

IF (Customer.balance >= 2500 && Customer.balance <= 4999)
THEN Customer.rewardLevel == "Silver"

Test Data Rule 4

IF (Customer.balance >= 1000 && Customer.balance <= 2499)
THEN Customer.rewardLevel == "Bronze"

Default Test Data Rule

THEN Customer.rewardLevel == "Basic"

Completed Story

Once this configuration is completed, you can generate test data, which meets the defined business logic. This can be done in one of two ways:
