 How can I test it now without changing the rule... 
 Initial thoughts are like making system timings set to December and test..

Once done, you can pass in any needed date to the rule to test the result.  Posting a snippet of your specific code should help flesh out the issue if you still need assistance.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: testing a rule</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/61900?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Oct 2018 18:53:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:a3cdf364-e78d-4442-b266-c2225008ed9e</guid><dc:creator>Mike Schmitt</dc:creator><description>Can you post the code for the rule here so we can provide specific advice for how to consider testing it?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: testing a rule</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/61899?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Oct 2018 18:45:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:02d2c192-d384-44c3-bdba-6c3035cfe383</guid><dc:creator>rohinip91</dc:creator><description>The rule is using today() and now() in checking the month .&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: testing a rule</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/61898?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Oct 2018 18:39:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:43199a55-4ee3-4476-9e0b-17117a2fec3e</guid><dc:creator>omere0001</dc:creator><description>Is your rule using functions like today() and now() then doing calculations on whether it is the month of December or are you passing in the date to your rule?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
