Decision table

A structured table that lists possible conditions and the actions tied to them. It guides a decision-making process with clear, explicit logic.

Example

A loan approval system may use a decision table to determine whether an applicant is eligible for a loan. The table lists conditions such as credit score, income, and employment history, and the corresponding actions, such as approving or denying the loan. By evaluating the applicant's information against the table, the system can determine the right action quickly and consistently.
