Re: [rules-users] How to determine which rules fired under what conditions, for testing

Ciao, as you mentioned in your original post you're starting with Drools, I want to share with you I find particularly useful to have a KnowledgeRuntimeLogger [1] during my JUnit tests. It basically produce an audit xml file which you can later open with the Drools tools in the Eclipse IDE with the Drools Audit view [2] and very precious when I'm starting to write new project and its first tests. While I'm here I want to mention at the same time, in the early JUnit test I write, I do normally get a great help by the JUnit test tag timeout element [3]. It helps me prevent infinite rule firing loop by forcing the test method termination after a while if not completed; normally I'm bad at this and when I'm starting a brand new project I tend to bump into this kind of problems. There are other helpful stuff, but these are the ones I would start from. Hope this will help you, Ciao Matteo [1] http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/5.5.0.Final/drools-expert-docs/html_...
