Business Rules
What a business rule is
A business rule captures a single, named piece of validation logic. Each rule has a plain-language description of what it checks, specifies which data fields it examines, and defines the message shown when the rule is not satisfied.
What you can do with business rules
For each rule you want to enforce, you provide:
| What you supply | Purpose |
|---|---|
| A name | Identifies the rule |
| A description | Documents the intent of the rule in plain language |
| A natural-language definition of the logic | Describes what the rule should check, in your own words |
| The data fields the rule examines | Tells the rule which parts of a record to inspect |
| An error message | The message shown when the rule fails |
