A decision procedure for finding closed forms for indefinite summation of polynomials, rational functions, quasipolynomials and quasi rational functions is presented. It is extended for some non-hypergeometric sums with rational inputs not summable by means of Gosper's algorithm. It is accompanied by discussion of implementation, analysis of degree bounds and some illustrative examples.
