The widgets in this category return static analysis results from Parasoft code analysis and test execution tools (C/C++test, dotTEST, Jtest). Additionally, multiple occurrences of a violation detected and reported by Parasoft tools 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 Static Analysis widget as such.
Running static analysis on multiple branches using the same run configuration
By default, the same instance of a static analysis violation will be reported across builds as a new violation when running static analysis on multiple branches using the same run configuration. As a result, widget that present changes in the number of violations will not be accurate. See Configuring Static Analysis Settings for additional information.
