Testing modules allows to test parts or the whole algorithm design in Higson Studio. Using batch tester gives the ability to perform test for series of data, not just a singular set. Create and save mass tests to control how changes it the algorithm influence the results. Each batch test is created from unit test (design in singular tester). To learn more about the Unit tests read the Tester chapter.

To go to batch tester, select Tools/Batch Tester in Main Toolbar.

You will see all saved batch tests

Each batch test is listed in the center of the screen, every single one is described by four information’s:

No.	Column name	Description
1.	Test Name	Batch test name. Each batch test should have unique name.
2.	User	Login of the user who created the batch test.
3.	Last Modified	Date of the last modification of the batch test.
4.	Actions	List of quick access actions. Currently only Remove action (bin icon) is available here.Remove action deletes desired batch test.

Additionally you can use available actions:

Batch tester creator

To create new batch test unit test must already exist. You can create unit test using the Tester. When this condition is met you can start creating batch tests based on existing unit tests.

The Batch Test creator:

For each unit test, which creates batch test, six information is given:

No.	Column name	Description
1.	Test Name	Full test name. Test name is loaded from selected unit test. Test name can be changed (or added) through import of the XLSx file.
2.	Status	Test case status provided by comparison of the evaluated value with expected value.

Batch tester - Reading & Editing the XLSx file

Each XLSx from batch test is created according to the rules:

• There are always three sections with data
• Each sections may have multiple columns
• Data sections are separated by empty column, with header # or ##

First sections:

• starts with column including test case name

A decision table presents values in rows and columns. Each row describes a situation when given inputs (columns) result in certain outputs (also columns). In other words, a decision matrix displays decisions based on certain criteria. You can create a decision table in Higson (so-called a parameter), where you define input and output columns and then populate data with values in rows.

Configuration of the product in Higson is composed of:

• Domain configuration
• Decision tables
• Functions

Operators make changes in configuration in work session. Open session (by this we understand every change made in range of configuration) is visible only to operator, who is making changes. In the moment of publication that session changes are seen by all the users and are applied to structure.

There are two basic ways to publish your session: by Main toolbar > Tools > Sessions or shortcut session button in the top right corner of the application Higson.

1. When a user chooses to go through the main toolbar (A):

   

   the screen will show with a list of all sessions:

   

   While looking for specified session may filter possible matches by:

   • All sessions, Open, Published, Rejected (A)

   • Session id, Start date, End date, User (B)

   Your guidelines will be applied automatically. There is no need to fill all search cells or filter decision tables at once. Input only those which you find necessary. Sessions view is in the form of a table with columns (C):

   Id.	Column name	Description
   1.	Status	Status of session: Published, Open, Rejected
   2.	User	The user who owns the session
   3.	Start date	Date of creation of session
   4.	End date	Date of publishing or rejecting session
   5.	Remote	Flag informing if the session created by higson runtime rest
   6.	Description	Description of a session after publishing or rejecting

   When a session from the list is selected (by clicking on it) detail information will show:

   

   In this view, we can see a summary of the selected session: elements number, the start date of the session, and user owner (A).We can publish or reject changes in (B) (only if the Session in (A) is marked as Open). This view also contains three sections: Decision table, Domain, and Function with assigned table containing columns (C):

   Id.	Column name	Description
   1.	Operation	Operation on the element: Create, Update, or Delete
   2.	ID	ID number of element
   3.	Element	Element name
   4.	Created/Modified	Date of operation executed at the element
   5.	Actions	Column for reverting changes on one separate element on this session

2. When the user chooses to go through the shortcut session button (B) in the top right corner of the application Higson**:**

   

   very similar session details to the previous one view will appear:

   

   After clicking on (A) Reject or Publish changes view will pop up:

   

   After confirmation, changes will be PUBLISH or REJECT with no message or a message in the description field filled.

   Sometimes after publishing a session, there is information about overriding changes. That means another user modified the same decision table while you were working on it. That means his changes probably are not in your current version of the decision table/function (or any objects you were working on). Then you may overwrite another user’s changes - which mean delete his changes and apply yours - or check what changes were made and apply them to your project - to not lose any important data. To check another user’s changes, go to the main toolbar and Main toolbar > Tools > Sessions (like in 1.). From the list of sessions, choose the one whose author is the other user. Then when detailed information about the session occurs, click on the change made on your object. Then you will see how that element looks after (that user) changes and may make a comparison with your current version, then apply any changes in your version by clicking on your session on the session list.

   What’s more, there is a possibility of occurring collision during publishing. That happens when another user makes changes to the same element at the same time. When this kind of situation takes place, the user should run a cohesion analysis to check which elements are the cause. If cohesion analysis is needed, then some changes must be reverted from the session and then (they may be) applied again in a new session on the base of updated elements.

Snapshot is one of the global download/upload tools available in the Higson system. This functionality allows you to download selected parts of the configuration to the .ZIP file and upload this into another environment. The contents of the .ZIP file are a directory structure with plain text files, making it easy to work with. Higson allows downloading and uploading snapshots.

Snapshot download

To see the Download snapshot view select Download snapshot in Tools from Main Toolbar:

After that, you will see a screen allowing you to choose the elements that you want to be in a snapshot:

1. Profiles

2. Domain

3. Decision tables

4. Functions

5. Profile

6. Tags

1. Choosing the Profiles:

   

   The snapshot download will contain functions and decision tables, which are versioned inside the selected **profiles **. You can choose one or more profiles. In this case, the snapshot download will contain functions and decision tables from two selected profiles:

2. Choosing the Domain:

   

   When you choose Domain snapshot download will contain the domain with published changes and the current user’s session changes by default.

3. Choosing Decision tables:

   

   When you choose Decision tables snapshot download will contain decision tables:

   a) which will be from the current session if marked (A)

   b) which will be filtered by name if filled and added in (B)

   c) which will be marked by a specific tag if selected in (C)

4. Choosing Functions:

   

   When you choose Functions snapshot download will contain functions - filtered the same way as Decision Tables in 1.3

5. Choosing Profile:

   

   If you choose Profile, the snapshot download will contain the configuration of the profile.

   The data contained in the snapshot may contain elements also from the context (A). Context definition can only be downloaded together with the profile definition. If you do not mark the checkbox Profile, the snapshot download will contain only functions, decision tables, and tags.

6. Choosing Tags:

   

   When you choose Tags snapshot download will contain tags.

   Finally, after applying configuration to snapshot download - to download the snapshot, you need to click the Download button (A):
