What's New in InRule® Version 3.2
Extending InRule's Rule Authoring Leadership with Powerful New Features for
Business Users and Developers
InRule Version 3.2 includes new capabilities to improve the effectiveness of rule
authoring and management for both business users and developers responsible for
maintaining core decision logic, while increasing the depth of support for widely
used Microsoft technologies.
InRule Version 3.2 reflects the company's high degree of responsiveness to its customers,
as many of the new capabilities are a direct result of feedback from the 2008 InRule
User Community Meeting.
New features for both developers and business users include:
“irScript® will provide my development team with the ability to separate the needs
of different rule authors into rule application level specific logic. irScript simultaneously
enables our ability to increase the reusability of our centralized authoring behavior.
My compliments to the InRule development team ─ you guys rock!”
Bill Leannah, lead programmer with West Bend Mutual Insurance and InRule Version 3.2 beta user.
irStudio provides rule authoring and editing within Microsoft Visual Studio.
With InRule's key authoring capabilities such as Business Language Authoring, Decision
Tables, and integrated real-time testing, irStudio eliminates the need for developers
to use separate tools for development and rule authoring.
irScript® is the first dynamic language for business rules based on the Microsoft
Dynamic Language Runtime. irScript simplifies the creation of User Defined Functions,
extending the power of iterative development and enabling rapid changes for applications
that adapt to changing business requirements.
Regression Testing is a new integrated feature of InRule's real-time testing
tool, irVerify. Regression Testing allows rule authors to compare test case results
to ensure proper rule functionality when changes are made to any part of a rule
application.
Rule Tracing provides a step-by-step trace of rule execution for analysis,
tuning and troubleshooting.
RuleFlow A graphically displayed and edited RuleSet that provides an easy,
visual way for rule authors to understand and control the execution of a rule application
and to dictate its execution order, including both conditional branching and the
execution of RuleSets and WorkFlows.
Active Directory Integration Simplifies administration by importing Active
Directory users and groups into irCatalog, InRule's database-backed service for
rule management, security and administration.
Execute a Windows Workflow Foundation workflow Existing workflows can be
called for functions such as populating data or taking action based on a decision,
making it easy to integrate workflow capabilities into a rule application.
