About Suppressions
Suppressions are used to prevent SOAtest from reporting additional occurrences of a specific static analysis task (multiple tasks might be reported for a single rule). Suppressed messages will be sent to a special Suppressions view instead of the Quality Tasks view; this allows you to monitor those violations as needed while keeping your main results areas focused on the other errors.
...
- The Test Configuration defines the set of rules that are checked during static analysis.
- Suppressions define which static analysisre sults analysis results should be visible in Quality Tasks view and reports.
This means that rules selected in the Test Configuration will be checked during analysis, but results that match the suppression criteria will not be displayed.

Suppressions prevent the reporting of a specific static analysis task (e.g., fix the violation of rule X that occurs in line Y); they do not prevent the reporting of all violations of a rule. |
Defining Suppressions

The task will then be "suppressed" and removed from the Quality Tasks view. A suppression entry will be added to the Suppressions view. If the same static analysis violation is found in subsequent tests of this project, it will be reported in the Suppressions view, but not in the Quality Tasks view.
Viewing Suppressions
To view the suppressed messages that were reported in a subsequent test run:
...
To sort the Suppressions view contents by one of the column headings, click that column heading.
