Analyzing a Decision Table

In the Table Analyzer you can set example condition values and perform various validation checks on the currently displayed decision table.

Note: Table analyzer supports the Not Equal To (!=) operator.
    Procedure
  1. On the Workspace tab, open the decision table you want to analyze.
  2. Click Analyze to view Table Analyzer.
  3. In the Table Analyzer section, controls are created dynamically for setting values and ranges for each condition in the table. Enter or select the example values for which you want to analyze the table.
    For example, if the condition is a range, for instance “< 40” or “> 10 && < 100”, then the corresponding control in the Table Analyzer section are textboxes for the minimum and maximum value of the range. You can then select a range of values within the range.
  4. Click the Analyze icon to analyze the decision table based on the selected values.
    A pop-up window displays the count of any issues. The Problems section at the bottom displays more information on issues. Click the issue to highlight the row.
  5. You can click the Show Coverage icon in the table analyzer section to highlight all rows that meet the criteria. In page view, browse through the pages to see the highlighted rows.
    For example, if you select Male for Gender; true for Eligible; and 50000-60000 for Income, clicking Show Coverage displays all rows that have Male, true, and an income between 50000 and 60000.
