> Happy New Year everyone,

I am working on updating some rules that have been causing issues in our tenant s. I am trying to follow the official documentation on the RDT ([Rule Development Kit | SailPoint Developer Community](https://developer.sailpoint.com/idn/tools/rule-development-kit#mock-the-objects-and-return-the-mocked-data)). I get to the point of mocking up data and I am left scratching my head as to how I would mock the data up there is not a lot of detail in the example provided on the page.

I have created the .java and .xml files for the logic I want to test. I am not stuck on what I should do next in order to start testing out my new logic that was built. Any pointers on how to complete the next steps in the document would be really helpful thank you.

for reference here is the logic I have built out.

Hi Mark. Have you watched this video where @tyler_mairose explains how the RDK works? I believe he discusses how to test a rule with mock data.

> [@Dev Live Stream, October - Introducing the Rule Development Kit](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/dev-live-stream-october-introducing-the-rule-development-kit/14114):
>
> This month, we’ll be hearing from @tyler_mairose as he teaches us what SailPoint’s new Rule Development Kit is and how to use it to develop rules faster, and with less effort. This will save you time and money by reducing the time spent developing and debugging rules, leading to less PS time evaluating and implementing them!
