| Summary: | Knowledge-based Systems and Expert Systems, in particular, are expensive to build and difficult to validate and debug because of their complexity and dynamism. Therefore, it is not easy for knowledge engineer and domain expert to identify the gaps and mistakes in knowledge base. Unit testing is unable to cover validation process at all stages, in many cases manual thorough review of decision process is needed. In this paper we spot main approaches to validation and verification issue and describe a component that helps to debug a knowledge base by visualising execution of rules that derive a particular result. This component is developed for Knowledge-based Systems built on Drools Platform1 and we demonstrate application of this component in a knowledge-based engineering system for structural optical design. |
