  • Run dottestcliwith the -config switch and specify a built-in, user-defined or  DTP-hosted  test configuration:

    Code Block
    -config "builtin://Recommended Rules"
-config "user://Foo Configuration"
-config "dtp://Foo Team Configuration" 
-config "dtp://FooTeamConfig.properties"

    You can also provide a path or URL to the test configuration .properties file:

    Code Block
    -config "C:\Devel\Configs\FooConfig.properties"
-config "http://foo.bar.com/configs/FoodConfig.properties"


    For example, your command line may resemble the following:

    Code Block
    dottestcli.exe -solution "C:\Devel\MyFooSolution\MySolution.sln" 
-config "builtin://Demo" -report "C:\Report"

  • In the .properties file, specify the default configuration that will be run when the -config option is not used:

    Code Block
    dottest.configuration=user://Configuration Name

Built-in Test ConfigurationDescription
Recommended RulesThe default configuration of recommended rules. Covers most Severity 1 and Severity 2 rules. Includes rules in the Flow Analysis Fast configuration. 
Recommended .NET Core RulesIncludes rules that identify high-severity defects in .NET Core projects.
Find Duplicated CodeApplies static code analysis rules that report duplicate code. Duplicate code may indicate poor application design and lead to maintainability issues.
MetricsComputes values for  several code metrics. 
Flow AnalysisDetects complex runtime errors without requiring test cases or application execution. Defects detected include using uninitialized or invalid memory, null pointer dereferencing, array and buffer overflows, division by zero, memory and resource leaks, and dead code. This requires a special Flow Analysis license option.
Flow Analysis AggressiveIncludes rules for deep flow analysis of code. A significant amount of time may be required to run this configuration.
Flow Analysis FastIncludes rules for shallow depth of flow analysis, which limits the number of potentially acceptable defects from being reported.
Critical RulesIncludes most Severity 1 rules, as well as rules in the Flow Analysis Fast configuration.  
DemoIncludes rules for demonstrating various techniques of code analysis. May not be suitable for large code bases.
Find Memory IssuesIncludes rules for finding memory management issues in the code. 
Find Unimplemented ScenariosIncludes rules for finding unimplemented scenarios in the code. 
Find Unused Code Includes rules for identifying unused/dead code.
Check Code Compatibility against .NET [2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 Client Profile, 4.0 Full, 4.5.0, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6.0, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7.0]Includes a set of test configurations that validates the code’s compatibility with the specified version of .NET framework. 

CWE-SANS Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming
Errors

Includes rules that find issues classified as Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors of the CWE-SANS standard. 
NIST SAMATEIncludes rules that find issues identified in the NIST SAMATE standard
OWASP Top 10 2017Includes rules that find issues identified in OWASP’s Top 10 standard
PCI Data Security StandardIncludes rules that find issues identified in PCI Data Security Standard 
PCI v3.1 Data Security Standard (Server Configuration)Includes rules that find issues identified in PCI Data Security Standard v3.1
Security AssessmentGeneral test configuration that finds security issues
UL 2900Includes rules that find issues identified in the UL-2900 standard.
IEC 62304 (Template) A template test configuration for applying the IEC 62304 Medical standard. 
Microsoft Secure Coding GuidelinesIncludes rules that enforce Microsoft Secure Coding Guidelines
Microsoft Managed Recommended RulesApplies the Microsoft Managed Recommended Rules that identify the most critical issues in your managed code

Creating Custom Rules

Use RuleWizard to create custom rules. To use the rule, it needs to be enabled in a test configuration and the custom rule file must be located in one of the following directories:
