A practical example
Example: a scoring rule adds 10 points when job title contains 'director'. A unit test feeds it sample titles — including 'Assistant Director' — and shows the rule mis-scores that case before deployment.
What to evaluate before investing
- Ask whether scoring and routing rules can be executed against sample records before publishing.
- Confirm test cases cover boundary inputs, not just typical values.
- Check whether rule changes require passing tests or can ship untested.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Rules without isolated tests ship mis-scoring to the entire database on every edit, and the damage is usually discovered weeks later in sales feedback, not in QA.
