You can run the tools on the desktop or automate code analysis and test execution as part of the build process. The engines Parasoft tools and third-party analyzers generate local HTML/XML files and publish details to DTP for aggregation, reporting, and analysis.

Parasoft provides plugins for popular IDEs, such as Visual Studio, Eclipse, NetBeans, and IntelliJ. The plugins enable you to integrate DTP Engines Parasoft tools and analyzers from the marketplace into the IDE for local GUI-based code analysis. Additionally, the plugins enable you to retrieve findings that have been processed by DTP and import them into the IDE. DTP Engines Parasoft tools do not need to be plugged into the IDE for you to leverage the ability to download and import DTP findings. The IDE plugins can also be configured so that only findings with specific prioritization/metadata associated with them are downloaded and imported into the IDE.

DTP Enterprise Pack is a suite of tools for deriving deeper SDLC analytics and for using the complex data to automate compliance with development policies. Enterprise Pack includes the following applications:
...
You can integrate DTP into your own development processes, but the following workflow describes the typical implementation.
Integrating Parasoft Tools with the Build
The DTP Engines Parasoft tools ship with plugins for integration with your build tools (i.e., Maven, Ant, Gradle, MS Build, make, etc.). These integrations allow you to analyze code and send data to DTP automatically as part of the automated build processes and continuous integration (CI).
...
When observations are sent to DTP, they are converted into “findings” and stored in the database. Findings are observations that have been analyzed, normalized, and aggregated into actionable data.
If the DTP Engines tools are configured to include source code information, then DTP will retrieve the source code and present to the user when viewing the normalized findings in the browser-based reporting interface (e.g., Prioritization View, Tests Explorer, Metrics Explorer).
The DTP Engines tools can also send copies of analyzed source code to the DTP server for display if DTP is unable to access the code from the source control system. Reasons for enabling access to source files using this approach include:
