Subject: typical rules application
Hi
I am just
trying to get a feel of size of a typical rules application. How many
low-to-medium complex rules a typical rules application will have ? I
understand and agree that it totally depends upon the application and business
needs, but I am trying to get a feel of if rules is the correct solution to a
problem and if that can be determined by number of rules.
e.g.
if to
satisfy a business need, I wrote a rules application and ended up writing say
20 medium-complex rules and in another case, I wrote a rules application and
ended up writing say 10,000 low/medium complex rules
which one of these two cases sound like real, logical
candidate for a rules based app and why ? Is there a rule of thumb,
that “x” number of rules is a good number for an application to
qualify under rules technology ?
