Steps
- 1Every rule ships with fixture events that MUST fire + MUST-NOT-fire neighbors
- 2Run rule suites against synthetic telemetry in CI on every change
- 3Track rule precision/recall over time like code coverage trends
- 4Version rules semantically; logic changes bump minor, tuning patches
- 5Quarantine flaky environment-dependent rules visibly, fix root cause
- 6Report suite health to leadership: rules tested %, drift count
Common Pitfalls
- ▲Rules edited live in SIEM UIs diverging from repo truth
- ▲Fixtures rotting until they validate nothing anymore
