Comment (by micahlee):

 Over the summer Lisa Yao, our Google Summer of Code intern, helped write a
 bunch of code to do automatic ruleset tests to test for mixed content.
 Originally it was a mozilla-central mochitest, then moved into a
 standalone Firefox extension, and now finally it's been merged into the
 HTTPS Everywhere master branch.

 I've updated the readme file with how to run the tests:

 > You can run ruleset tests by opening about:config and changing
 extensions.https_everywhere.show_ruleset_tests to true. Now when you open
 the HTTPS Everywhere context menu there will be a "Run HTTPS Everywhere
 Ruleset Tests" menu item.
 >
 > When you run the tests, be prepared to let your computer run them for a
 really long time.

 The tests take over your browser by opening a ton of tabs, waiting for
 them to load, and seeing if the Firefox MCB gets triggered. A lot more
 work can be done on them, and they can be used to detect a lot more than
 just mixed content. But that's all they do for now.
