!2 Introduction
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
In ''!-FitLibrary-!'', one or more tables are used to specify business rules and processes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tables are used for two important reasons:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* They help to clarify the language of the domain
|
||
|
|
* They provide a structure in which feedback is provided, such as whether a test passed or not.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As we'll see in the following, tables are used in several different ways.
|
||
|

!2 Business Rules
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
A rule table is a way of defining, and testing, a business rule by providing several examples.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|>FirstRuleTableExample|''Discount business rules''|
|
||
|
|
|>SecondRuleTableExample|''Credit limit rules''|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another approach to rules tables is here: .FitLibrary.UserGuide.FitLibraryByExample.CalculationRule

!2 Business Processes
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
A business process concerns the order that things happen, and their consequences.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A workflow storytest shows what happens when an action is carried out on the system. The action could be carried out by:
|
||
|
|
* A user through a user interface
|
||
|
|
* Another system that sends or requests data and gives some signal
|
||
|
|
* An automatic background process that happens at certain times, such as every 10 minutes or at the end of the day

|
||
|
|
|^ChatBadPath|''When an action is expected to fail''|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sometimes, some of the tables used in defining a business process will specify the details of a single business object, such as a Customer.

Or we may want to deal with collections of things, such as a list of customers who owe us more than $10,000.
