Testing conditions and branches
Decision logic is where Logic Builder becomes more than a simple sequence tool.
What a Decision node needs
A useful Decision node should have:
- a clear question
- a connected Yes branch
- a connected No branch
If one branch is missing, the flow is not ready for a serious test.
How to test a branching flow
- Build a small flow that includes one Decision node.
- Make sure the question text is specific.
- Click Run.
- Wait for the simulation to reach the decision point.
- Choose Yes once and observe the result.
- Run the same flow again and choose No.
What to watch during testing
Look for:
- whether the simulation actually pauses at the decision
- whether the selected branch becomes the active path
- whether the execution trace or final outcome matches your expectation
Good beginner test pattern
Use one decision first, not three. A small branch is much easier to verify than a crowded tree with multiple unclear outcomes.
When a branch is badly designed
Your branch probably needs rewriting if:
- the question is vague
- both branches seem to lead to nearly the same result
- you cannot predict the right next step before running
