    To Dsiplay the "Correct Usage" of an Error when clicked on an Error after doing Softwat Analyzer in IDZ

    Like in SonarQube, if you click on an error, it will display the non-compliance and compliance usage, based on this the developer will know how to correct/fix the error / issue in the code. So the expectation is the same in IDZ S/A as well.

    Package Software Analyzer as OCI to use with zCX

    We would like to be able to run Software Analyzer inside a container as part of our pipeline. It would likely be inside zCX but in the end it could also be on x86. This will ultimately depend on the build environment our customer uses. We are vers...

    Software analyzer : Documentation explaining code conformity/violations with examples

    Some of the existing software analyzer built-in rules are not very comprehensive with examples. It is becoming more difficult to read code violation report and correct themselves by developers. For example built-in rule "Avoid using 88-entries in ...
