Internal Testing Facilities|Running Automated Tests

Under the Test menu, there are several options for running automated tests.

The 'Run Test Suite' option, gives access to a screen which is used to determine what is included in the self test.

The following options are available :-

Internal parsing functions are used to separate and isolate functions and their arguments.

Rule file functions are those functions used in Rule Files which help determine the class of the data in the column and from that a candidate matching function to use on it - as part of the 'Generate Match Criteria' procedure.

Conversion functions are functions that perform, sometimes conditionally, some kind of data conversion on data values, to change them from one value to another.

Matching functions match data in the same column, but in different records, according to a set of internal rules.

All kinds of the functions above are covered in this screen, you just select the ones you want to test.
