How To Unit Test A Data Transform

The Run Rule feature allows you to test a data change independently, before testing it in the perspective of the application you are developing.
Preparation
1. Inspect the rule. Evaluate the Applies To key part, the Definition, Parameters, and Pages & Classes tabs of the rule to recognize the classes of the pages it uses and the pages and properties concerned in the data transform.
2. The Run Rule feature can generate or copy a page to use as the test page, as suitable for the rule you are testing. The page class of the test page is the Applies To class of the rule. If required, you can produce a data transform to set original values for the test page.
3.  If the rule needs input from numerous pages, decide how to imitate the processing that generate them so the clipboard has the initial context required for the data transform.
4.  For more inclusive testing, produce one or more additional data transforms that load a variety sets of input values into the clipboard.
