Q&A

Is there a visualization tab of the tool? So, if we were to present our final findings to our stakeholders with some visualization, that'd be possible.

With SAS Visual Analytics, you can take your output data from your tests and scenarios and go directly to SAS Visual Analytics where you can explore and visualize the results. The image below shows where this action can be found in your tests.

The screen you just showed it's the test result, right? Before publishing?

Yes, these tests are done before publishing. After publishing the decision, a publishing validation test will be automatically generated where you can test your decision in its published destination.

Correct. This demo is done in version Stable 2024.01
