Benchmarks For Business Rules
I found this posting (referring to JBoss site) on Manners and Waltz.
It is true there are significant number of rule formats, that impact decisioning . Decision Tree, Procedural Logic Flows, Decision Tables and more. So its confusing out there.
IMHO this is going to be another stumbling block for the business rules apart from others:
1. Standards: Lets face it. There are none, and from what little i can glean from other initiatives (SBVR included) - the movement isn’t there. JSR-94 was JDBC to Databases (and yet it didnt address critical questions) and you have no SQL equivalent. This defeats the whole purpose of standardization. SBVR is to Business Process Modelling and there is is no BPEL in the rules market. SBVR itself sounds fairly difficult to master! I wonder if a Human Factor expert is on board at SBVR.
2. Benchmarks: I really dont understand when any vendor talks of 10 times or 100 times better performance.
3. Standard Rule Representations: I doubt if this is codified anywhere. Practically each tool has its own formats and ways of doing things.
And then finally the BIG question, where does BRMS fit into the Software Development LifeCycle.
Now as someone who feels that business rules has value, you might feel i am doing my cause a disservice. No, all i am saying is that the value of the technology has not yet taken shape and there is much confusion out there- it should have a much wider acceptance than it has now.
