    What methods are used by AV developers to determine the presence of new viruses or variants?

    The relevance of In the Wild detection tests is that the viruses on the WildList are known to be causing real-world virus incidents, and of doing so in more than just one or two isolated places. Products that do not have full detection of these viruses are unlikely to be of widespread appeal.
