Segmented questionnaire validation of business rules based on scoring

Abstract

A method, system and computer-usable medium for a policy validator that automates the validation of existing or proposed policies. A segmented questionnaire wizard is implemented to guide a policy creator through a series of policy-related questions, resulting in the automated generation of a questionnaire used for validating the policy. The resulting validation questionnaire is automatically distributed to predetermined subject matter experts and individuals affected by the policy, whose responses are then analyzed and scored by the policy validator to determine the validity of the policy. If the resulting validation score is within a predetermined, acceptable range, the policy is approved and released for implementation. Otherwise, the process is repeated until an acceptable validation score is achieved.
