Rules not only need to be created but also need to be managed. The management of business rules answers questions like these:
- When was it changed?
- Who changed it?
- Why was it changed?
- What did it look like at any point of its history?
- What state is the rule in?
- Can I checkout and test the next version of the rule?
The Decisions platform includes an integrated rule repository where business rules can be:
- Checked out
- Versioned
- Managed by release state (production, hotfix, development, qa)
- Reverted to prior versions
- etc
The rule repository is critical as it forms the 'database' of rules, in all versions. Without a comprehensive repository its impossible to track the progression of rules or look back at the what the logic/processes were at any given stage.
