Are scenario test cases primarily used to test an individual rule in Pega?

Scenario test cases are not primarily designed for testing individual rules in Pega. Instead, they are meant to validate end-to-end processes and system behavior under various scenarios. This approach allows for the testing of interactions between multiple rules and the overall application functionality, rather than focusing solely on a singular rule’s performance.

When scenario test cases are executed, they consider various inputs and conditions to assess the application's response in real-world situations. This comprehensive testing perspective helps ensure that the entire process flow works as intended, identifying any shortcomings in how different components of the application interact with each other.

Individual rule testing typically takes place through unit tests that assess the specifics of a particular rule's logic and behavior without the context of the larger process. Thus, scenario test cases occupy a different niche in the testing strategy, emphasizing process validation rather than isolated rule testing.
