Parasoft supports several workflows for suppressing violations. DTP or "server-side" suppressions are applied from the Prioritization tab of the Violations Explorer view. DTP suppressions are stored in DTP and do not affect the source code when violations are imported to a Parasoft tool user's IDE as findings.
- Select violation(s) in the search results area and click the Prioritization tab.
- Enable Suppress the selected violations in subsequent analysis runs and provide information about the suppression in the Reason text field. The suppression will be implemented in the next static analysis execution. You can release suppressed violations by disabling this option. Changes will be implemented during the next analysis run.
- Make any other changes and click Apply. The Apply to All Branches option is enabled by default. Disable this option if you want to apply changes to only the selected instance of the violation; see Applying Changes to Violations.
DTP suppressions differ from in-file and in-code suppressions, which are applied by the tool user and stored locally. Refer to the tool documentation for details about applying in-file and in-code violations.
Violations that have been suppressed using the in-code or in-file method will be labeled in the Prioritization and Details tab. You can also add the Suppression Type column to the search results table. See Navigating Explorer Views for information on how to add and remove columns in explorer views.
