 #### Our Automated Tests
-1. [CI](https://github.com/splunk/security-content/blob/44946063173f7bc9921f0da0aa62139c084d1c51/.circleci/config.yml#L27) validates that the content was written to spec using [`validate.py`](https://github.com/splunk/security-content/blob/runstory/bin/generate.py). To run validation manually, execute: `python bin/generate.py --path . --output package --storiesv1 --use_case_lib -v`.
-2. [CI](https://github.com/splunk/security-content/blob/44946063173f7bc9921f0da0aa62139c084d1c51/.circleci/config.yml#L60) generates Splunk configuration files using [`generate.py`](https://github.com/splunk/security-content/blob/develop/bin/generate.py). If you want to export Splunk .conf files manually from the content, run `python bin/generate.py --path . --output package --storiesv1 --use_case_lib -v`.
