    "intro": "The objective of this test is to verify that Oracle Fusion Assets correctly processes depreciation for eligible capitalized assets when a depreciation run is executed for an asset book and open accounting period, producing accurate depreciation expense, reserve and asset status updates.",
    "confirms": [
      "the correct asset book and depreciation period are selected",
      "only eligible, capitalized assets are included in the run",
      "depreciation expense is calculated according to each asset's method, life and cost",
      "the depreciation reserve is updated correctly for each processed asset",
      "asset status reflects that depreciation has been processed for the period",
      "assets excluded from the run are correctly identified rather than silently skipped",
      "the depreciation run completes without unexpected errors"
