Adding A Standard Page

The related standard should have a page created under the "Related Guidelines" section of the backmatter, if one does not already exist.

Editing Related Guideline Tables

Each rule/rec page has a "Related Guidelines" section, enumerating related CERT Secure Coding rules as well as related guidelines from other standards. This section contains a table.  Each row of this table contains information for a particular standard. A row in this table has the following format.

The information in these tables is periodically aggregated for each standard. A wiki page is then updated for each standard with the aggregated data. For example, the MITRE CWE page shows all the relationships between MITRE CWEs and CERT Secure Coding rules that are documented in this wiki.

This aggregation process is automatic. In order for the process to pick up your changes, you should adhere to certain guidelines when entering data into the related guidelines table.

• The name column contains the name of the standard, e.g. MITRE CWE.  This name must be the same wherever it appears.
• Each guideline name should appear on a separate line in the guideline column.  You may embed a link in the guideline name to an appropriate online resource.

Note that, historically, this table has not had a header row, and you are not required to add one.
