Q. Write short notes on Decision Table?

As an alternative decision tables are used. Major parts of the table are

1. Condition Stubs

2. Action Stubs

3. Roles

Condition stubs register all the conditions relevant to the decision. Action part registers all the actions that will take place for a valid set of conditions. Ultimately rules part of the table specifies the set of conditions that will trigger a particular action. A example decision table is shown below
