Introduction

Introducing RuleWizard

Welcome!

Welcome to RuleWizard, a feature that allows you to create custom cod-

ing standards. CodeWizard can automatically enforce any rule created in

RuleWizard.

By allowing you to easily create and enforce standards that are perfectly

additional elements until the rule expresses the pattern that you want

CodeWizard to check for. Rule elements are added by pointing, clicking,

and entering values into dialog boxes. No knowledge of the parser is

required to write or modify a rule.
