_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reviewers Rules

1) Check the english language 2) Check the template: the articles on chapter 4 should have the following:


 * Template (http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Template_Paragraph_Testing_AoC)

In some articles we don't need to talk about Gray Box Testing or other, so we can eliminate it.

3) Check the reference style. (I'd like to have all the referenced URLs visible because I have to produce also a pdf document of the Guide). I agree with Stefano, we have to use a reference like that:

== References ==

Whitepapers

* [1] Author1, Author2: "Title" - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2254.txt

* [2]...

Tools

* Francois Larouche: "Multiple DBMS Sql Injection tool" - http://www.sqlpowerinjector.com/index.htm

4) Check the reference with the other articles of the guide or with the other OWASP Project.

5) Other?
