Every company needs business rules and every employee applies several of them every day. I bet very few people are aware of this or even know what business rules are. When setting up or developing a system, the rules need to be configured or programmed for the relevant processes. It is best if the rules have been written down in a specification by experts in the relevant field.
This book describes in great detail what business rules are and how they relate to use cases and business processes. The author does this comparison in the first 100 pages. In this respect, it is like another explanation of my methodology. After that, he goes deep into the topic of business rules; how to identify them, how to describe them and how to manage them over time. It even shows how to formulate business rules in an interpretation-free way using UML or OCL.
For all those who want to study this subject extensively, this book is one of the best, if not the only one. I take some things from this book, except the description of the business rules. I agree with the author when he writes "to use business rules effectively, a wide audience needs to understand them.
