FlexRule

Business rule, application logic and business process engine framework for .Net-based applications

FlexRule is a .Net based Business Rules Management (BRM) platform with a dynamic, secure and language independent code execution mechanisms. It provides following components:

• Business rules engine (BRE) to execute securely all sorts of logic, rules, procedures, calculations, flows, inferences, validations...
• Authoring tool allows design and implement of rules visually.
• Testing tool provides an interface to simply test the changes before deployment.
• Tracing tool Allows you trace the rules execution.
• Packaging tool creates a digitally signed and password protected package to be used in production.

FlexRule is also an event-driven rule engine that provides infrastructure so you can manage and control the rule processing much more effectively than when you use normal rule engines. With our business rule engine (BRE) framework, rules and logic can be defined in high-level language in a separate physical module or created programmatically.

Our business rule engine (BRE) framework has been fully implemented with C# .NET, which allows you to integrate it very easily, using its API, into your .NET-based applications, regardless of the type of your application: Windows Forms, Services, WCF, WPF, ASP.NET, or MVC.

Agility and maintenance benefits

A rule engine allows changes made to the rules without requiring code change of your applications. If your code must pass through a strict software deployment cycle, this feature can be a huge time saver and can also save a significant amount of money and resources. Likewise, a rule engine gives you the benefit of not hard coding the rules and logic of your application; hence, fewer maintenance problems down the road.

Visibility and separation of concern

Separation of concerns has always been a best practice in software development; therefore, mixing business rules and application logic with the rest of your code would not be wise. Any change in data, rules, or logic requires a code change. Separating this knowledge from its implementation helps to avoid changing the existing functional and tested code. A rule engine not only allows a more declarative style of programming but also delegates the decision making of the application.

Closing the gap between technical and nontechnical people

The rules can be written in high-level language that is easier for non-developers to understand, which consequently empowers business users and nontechnical members of a team to develop the rules and decision-making logic of the application themselves. Also, the visual representation of rules allows them to be understood and developed more easily and effectively.

What is FlexRule?

A business rules engine (BRE) framework intended for designing, executing, and managing business rules and application logic. FlexRule helps you to externalize some parts of your software, such as software rules and logic, and then extend your software dynamically without any recompile.

New Language?

We support XML and S-expression as a very high-level extension point of your software.

Not Enough?

We provide a mechanism which allows you to develop your independent language and extend your software.

API?

Our business rules engine provides an API model for all the engines and functionalities. Simply reference our assemblies in the .NET application and use our business rules engine (BRE) framework.

What Engines?

FlexRule as a business rules engine (BRE) framework supports procedural, inference, flow, and validation engines.

Any Security?

You are able to sign and encrypt your externalized codes through the provided Power Shell based on certificate (private/public keys) or password in our business rules engine (BRE) framework.

Rule authoring?

To allow nontechnical people to understand and develop business rules and application logic, our business rules engine (BRE) framework provides a rule designer for procedural, inference, and flow rules.

Testing rules?

Our business rules engine (BRE) framework provides a rule tester to let you run the rules outside of the application and make sure everything is working as expected.
