You can prevent dotTEST from reporting specific static analysis findings by defining suppressions. Suppressions are useful when you generally follow a rule, but decide to ignore specific occurrences of the reported finding. If you do not want to receive findings for any violations of a specific rule, disable the rule in the test configuration.

Suppression schemes can be defined in source code or in a suppression file.

Defining Suppressions in Source Code

...

Use the following format to add suppression entries to parasoft.suppress files:

suppression-begin
file: Account.cs                  (required)
line: 12                          (optional)
rule-id: CODSTA-123               (optional)
message: Exact violation message  (optional)
reason: Approved                  (optional)
author: devel                     (optional)
date: 2020-09-21                  (optional)
suppression-end

Example

At a minimum, you must specify the source file where the problem was detected. This will suppress all findings reported for the specified file. In the following example, all findings detected in the Account file will be suppressed:

suppression-begin
file: Account.cs
suppression-end

suppression-begin
file: Account.cs
rule-id: PB.TYPO.TLS
suppression-end

Notes on Attributes

• It is a good practice to specify the reason for suppression.
• The line attribute should be used with caution as it may invalidate the suppression if the code is moved to another line when the source file is modified.
