IDE Integration

Parasoft Jtest can analyze locally buildable projects in your IDE (multi-module projects must be built before analysis). This section describes the requirements to import and work with findings in an IDE. To perform code analysis, ensure that your system meets the minimum system requirements.

Supported IDEs

Eclipse 2023-03 - 2026-06 (4.27 - 4.40)¹
IntelliJ IDEA 2023.1 - 2026.1
