The widgets in this category return static analysis results from Parasoft testing and code analysis tools: C/C++test, dotTEST, and Jtest. Multiple occurrences of a violation detected and reported by the tools are recognized as the same violation throughout the development lifecycle and is displayed in a Compliance widget as such.

About Compliance Categories
A compliance category is a group of static analysis rules that enforce a specific concept in a compliance standard. For example, the OWASP Top 10 standard contains a compliance category called "A1 - Injection." Parasoft enforces each category with one or more static analysis rules. DTP ships with compliance configurations for several standards. You can also install and deploy additional artifacts to your DTP infrastructure to monitor compliance with other standards. The configurations display static analysis data according to each standard's compliance categories.

This widget shows the five compliance categories in the selected compliance configuration with the most violations. See About Compliance Categories for information about compliance categories in DTP.
