Through a tour of Decision Center and the Decision Server console, you learn how to collaborate with other users to create and modify rules in decision services, manage changes, run tests, deploy rule applications, and test and execute deployed rules as rulesets.
This tutorial does not cover decision service development in Rule Designer, collaborative development in the decision governance framework, or simulations in Decision Center.
This tutorial uses the Miniloan Service decision service. To further explore the development components, you can use the following sample project, which comes preloaded in the Decision Center Business console:
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| Loan Validation Service | This decision service validates loans based on borrower data and loan parameters. It also computes loan insurance rates. |
