OpenAI Integration

Parasoft dotTEST introduces seamless integration with OpenAI and Azure OpenAI, enhancing its testing capabilities. You can now utilize your OpenAI or Azure OpenAI account to generate recommended fixes for static analysis violations. This feature enables you to efficiently resolve static analysis violations.
The Fix [rule] with Generative AI action in the IDE uses generative AI to provide analysis of a reported static analysis violation in the context of the associated code as well as an AI-generated suggested fix to resolve the violation. For details, see Generating a Suggested Fix.
To use this functionality, OpenAI must first be configured in the Parasoft Preferences. See Configuring OpenAI Settings.

The support for analyzing Razor/Blazor projects in Parasoft Plugin has been improved.
The shipped JRE has been upgraded to version 11.0.20.1+1.
Visual Studio Code users can now configure the mapping of dotTEST severity levels (1-5) to VS Code severity levels (Error/Warning/Information/Hint) and filter the violations inside VS Code based on dotTEST severities using a text pattern.
It is now possible to suppress a finding in the next line. See Next Line Suppression.
