Glossary

Organization

Your space in RuleForge. Each company usually has one organization, which holds members, projects, integrations, and billing.

Project

Where work happens. Each project groups your rules, decoders, test cases, reviews, and versions.

Workspace

A personal draft. It preserves your editor's current state so you can come back later, without creating a formal version yet.

Test case

A repeatable test. A sample event (log) with the result you expect — useful to make sure a rule keeps working the way it should.

Regression

Running all your test cases at once, typically before publishing. If something broke, regression warns you before content reaches production.

Review

The moment to request approval before publishing. Equivalent to a pull request inside RuleForge.

Version

An official snapshot of the project, ready to publish. Versions have history and can be compared.

Quality criteria (quality gate)

The list of checks that need to pass for a version to be publishable. For example: zero errors, all cases passing, approved review.

Integration

Connecting RuleForge to your environment's tools: Git, CI pipelines, Slack/Teams, ticket systems, etc.

Git connection

The credential that connects your organization to GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea. Lives at the organization level and is reused by projects.

The configuration that says which repository and branch a RuleForge project mirrors.

Pull request / Merge request

The merge request on your Git provider. RuleForge can open one automatically at publish time if that's your strategy.

Webhook

An automatic notification. When something happens (a published version, a failing regression), RuleForge notifies an external system via URL.

SSO (OIDC)

Signing in to RuleForge with your company's existing login (Google, Okta, Entra ID, etc.). Avoids another password.

SCIM

Automatic account provisioning. When someone joins or leaves the company, the RuleForge account follows.

API key

A credential that lets an external tool use RuleForge on your behalf — for example, an internal script or automation.

Audit

The organization's action history: who did what, when.

Role

A person's access level — administrator, content lead, reviewer, engineer, read only.
