Rule Development

When a rule is checked into SVN in a \[wiki:RuleSandboxes developer's sandbox\], it will be picked up for testing in a number of ways:

• virtually immediately, the PreflightBuildBot will pick it up and run a set of mass-checks against its own corpus, along with any other sandbox rules
• that night, the NightlyMassCheck will take place, and several people will run it against *their* corpora along with the entire SA ruleset
  

The results of both At the moment we do this through BugZilla; a rule that looks good is taken by the dev team and checked into SVN in the developer's sandbox (see RuleSandboxes), whereby a distributed group of contributors will test it against their corpus in the NightlyMassCheck and PreflightBuildBot mass-check runs. The resulting collated accuracy data can be viewed at the RuleQaApp.
