In another blog, we covered some basics on the query language and how to make it perform better. However, if you are like me, you want to understand more internals to be better informed when making decisions. This blog takes a deep dive into the inner workings of queries and caches used by Guidewire (GW). Let’s compare a set of Guidewire queries and the resulting SQL as a starting point.
In Guidewire PolicyCenter, one of the core objects is PolicyPeriod. It is not uncommon to see someone try to extend the PolicyPeriod with the rationale, "This change seems more policy related and does not fit on the line or one of its sub objects.”
CenterTest provides numerous means for effortless Guidewire application testing, such as simplified test creation, requiring only basic Java knowledge.
BillingCenter, with all its automation, is the Center with the fewest number of users logging in. Factors such as a small business audience and general aversion to accounting cause it to be often overlooked. But not anymore!

In OO parlance we are very used to inheritance, polymorphism and subtypes. These let us create objects which share common properties and methods that we can override within the different classes. Since these objects come from the same base object, they can further be cast from one type to another, as long as the parent type is the same.
