Hi Vamsi,

ATF is used for testing functional testing. "When I do this, does that other thing happen as expected?" Consider it like a robot with pre-recorded instructions of what to test and what to expect. As a result, you are testing most of what is in your list as a result. If the field goes from A to B, then you can use an assertion to test that it is B. If not, your test fails. If that value change happened to be done by a business rule, that would validate your business rule is running properly.

I hope that helps.

Ask yourself "Functionally... what is the purpose of this script? When does it run? What does it do once it runs? How can I test that?"

FWIW, it appears you have a single IF statement at the top of your block of code and no condition. That means this script is going to load every time. To improve debugging, consider moving the conditional part to the Condition statement.

Condition: current.u_is_recjected_worknote_updated == false

and then you script would start with

currrent.u_journal...
