# how to test a sniper in uxento's sandbox

Sandbox is Uxento's test feed. You publish fake posts from any account you pick and watch whether your sniper and tracker rules fire. Everything in it is sandbox-only: your real config is never modified.

## test a rule, start to finish

1. Open Sandbox from the Uxento menu.
2. Load the rules to test. Under Rules Under Test, click Import Real. It clones every keyword alert, ticker, CA and sniper from your real setup into the sandbox as editable copies.
3. In Compose, pick an Event Type: a tweet, a follow, a PFP change and more.
4. Set the account the post comes from. It starts as @sandbox_user, so type the handle your rule actually watches.
5. Write the post. Add an image or video if the rule matches on one, or start from Templates.
6. Click Publish to sandbox. Your post appears at the top of the feed.
7. If a rule matches, a notification appears top right saying what triggered.

## the rules panel

Rules Under Test holds the sandbox copies. You can edit them here or write new ones without touching your live setup.

- **Rule types.** Keyword, CA, Interaction, Post Interaction and Activity, each its own tab. Rules can also take image references.
- **Match mode.** EXACT or PARTIAL.
- **Export.** Exports your sandbox keyword highlights.

## the feed

Your own posts land at the top. Around them, an automated stream of simulated tweets arrives at random intervals.

Watch that stream as well as your own posts. A rule that fires on random tweets is too loose, and it would buy on noise when it runs for real. Pause the stream to test one post at a time, or Reset Feed to start clean.

## after it passes

Put the rules to work in [uTek](/uxento/utek/) or in the Auto-Sniper under [Automations](/uxento/automations/).

A sandbox hit tells you the rule matches the post. It doesn't tell you how fast a real snipe lands. Snipe speed depends on X and can vary, so a live snipe can still miss or land late. [X sniping strategy on uxento](/uxento/x-sniping-strategy/) covers setting rules for that.
