Global Test Parameters - Static Analysis

Static Analysis

Contains parameters that control static analysis.

Perform Static Analysis

Flag that controls whether or not static analysis is performed when a class is tested.

Note: This flag appears in all parameter levels.

Rules

Contains rules that can be applied when Jtest performs static analysis.

Severity Levels Enabled

Contains severity level flags. Each rule has a severity level associated with it. A rule is enforced only if both the rule and its severity level are enabled. This branch controls which severity levels are enabled.

To enable all severity level, right-click this node, then choose Enable All from the shortcut menu.

To view the number of active rules, right-click this node, then choose Show Number Active Rules from the shortcut menu.

Level 1-5

Flags that control whether or not the rules of a particular severity level are applied.

Built-in Rules

Contains built-in rules shipped with Jtest. A specific rule can be enabled or disabled using the flag associated with that rule. A rule is enforced only if both the rule and its severity level are enabled.

Possible Bugs

Contains rules that check for possible bugs in the code (i.e., the code compiles, but the programmer made some typos while entering the code).
