The widgets in this category return static analysis results from Parasoft DTP Engines, which include the execution engines for C and C++, Java, and .NET. Additionally, multiple occurrences of a violation detected and reported by Parasoft DTP Engines are recognized as the same violation throughout the development lifecycle. If the same violation is discovered multiple times, it is recognized as the same violation and displayed in a Compliance widget as such.
