> There are existing Beanshell rules, which require some adjustments. I just did those code changes, before production deployment, I like to validate these modified Beanshell rules for the syntax et. Is there any quick online tool for this rule validator similar to VS Code plugin or ISC for transformations, Just curious any easy way to validate this. ## ---

@lalithajay Please refer this Post. [Online tool for BeanShell validation / rule validation - as well as Apache Velocity - Identity Security Cloud (ISC) / ISC Discussion and Questions - SailPoint Developer Community](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/online-tool-for-beanshell-validation-rule-validation-as-well-as-apache-velocity/15507) ISC Visual Studio Code plugin does most of the work. I think you should use VSC only. ---

You can develop Rules in **VSCode** Extension itself, create Rule and develop through VSCode extension if it is **Connector** Rule. For **Cloud** Rules, develop outside ISC extension inside VSCode, add Java extension. There are no much differences between Java and Beanshell I wouldn’t recommend validating code outside using some 3rd party tools. ---

Yes, plan is to use plugin for connector rules and then VS for cloud rules and then use below to validate [Your first rule | SailPoint Developer Community](https://developer.sailpoint.com/docs/extensibility/rules/guides/your-first-rule/#validate-the-rule) ---
