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 can be viewed at the RuleQaApp.
MassesOverview describes a number of tools that are useful in evaluting the quality of prospective rules.
CustomRulesets illustrates rules available from third parties and has links to their mass-check results.
