Rule Development

Wiki MarkupWhen 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 can be viewed at the RuleQaApp.

CustomRulesets illustrates rules available from third parties and has links to their mass-check results.
