Exploring Example Rules

One of the best ways to familiarize yourself with RuleWizard is to look at how example rules are constructed. You can find a set of example rule files in <jtest installation directory>/brules. These rule files are the source for many of Jtest's built-in static analysis rules.

To open a rule file, choose Rule> Open Rule, then select one of the available .rule files from the file chooser.

Once the rule is open, you can view the rule description by choosing Rule> Properties.

Note: You can also open example rule files by:

1. Clicking Global in one of Jtest's UIs.
2. Opening Static Analysis> Rules> Built-in Rules.

Right-clicking the rule that you want to open and choose View RuleWizard Rule from the shortcut menu.

This menu item is only available if the rule is implemented in RuleWizard.
