Description

A rule should be defined, where possible, for every input data of a decision table. This makes it easier to follow decision logic in a decision table. Further, for each case an output can be determined.

If values exist for which no rules are defined, the completeness of a decision table can be impaired. A negative example of this shows although there are rules for the case “adults”, there are missing rules for the case “children”, therefore the decision table in incomplete.
