The results are presented as a task list that helps you determine how to proceed with testing and code improvement. Tasks are organized by author, category, then by severity (if assigned). Severity levels range from 1 to 5— Severity 1 tasks are estimated to have the greatest chance of eliminating or preventing a critical bug, while Severity 5 tasks are estimated to have the least chance of eliminating or preventing a critical bug.

Tasks are organized into different categories, depending on the product capabilities. To learn about the applicable categories, see the related product documentation.

Source Code Markers

For tests that were run on source files, results are also reported at the source code level.

  • Fix Static Analysis Violations: This category contains static analysis violations that should be corrected or suppressed. It also includes problems identified by BugDetective static analysisFlow Analysis.
  • Fix Unit Test Problems: This category contains unit test problems—including functional test failures, unexpected exceptions, and timeouts—that need to be addressed.
  • Review Unit Test Outcomes: This category contains unverified outcomes for test cases that were created during automated test case generation. Unverified outcomes are reported when C/C++test executes automatically-generated or user-defined test cases with postconditions that have not yet been converted to assertions The outcome might be the expected behavior, or it might indicate a problem. Further review and verification is required.  If you determine that the outcome reflects the expected behavior, you verify it. If not, you specify the correct outcome.
  • Fix Runtime Error Detection Violations: This category contains runtime errors detected when executing unit test cases or running the application.
