Question
How to use simulation in unit test ?
Pega does have document about unit test's 【Setup&Cleanup】,and doc about 【Simulation】.
But I don't find any sample code about UT's simulation...
●my case : I am testing an activity which uses data page and connect-REST，i try to set simulation in 【Setup&Cleanup】,but the test is still fail.
could anyone help ? (if there is a demo, is GREAT)

@yikaiz17254581 To set up simulations for unit tests in Pega you can utilize the Setup Cleanup tab in your Pega unit test case. In the Setup section expand the Simulation section and click Add Rules to include the rules you want to simulate. This allows you to provide hard-coded data as the expected output from the data page or connect rules which is essential when testing activities that rely on these components. If your test is still failing ensure that you have correctly configured the simulation rules and that they are properly referenced in your test case. For more detailed guidance you can refer to the documentation on configuring test data and simulating data pages.

@MarijeSchillern thank you for your reply.
my case:I create a test connect-REST, an existing web url as the server URL, and a response property.
I make a simulation in my unit test (as you said,use【Add Rules】 ).
i guess,when i run the unit test, the connect-REST will not execute, it will skip the process whick send request to the server,and straightly return my simulated data as response.
But the real situation is not like that. I run the UT with tracer, the log shows the connect-REST is send requesting to the server ,and failed to turn response to my response proeprty......
