Result Details in Polyspace Desktop User Interface

This topic focuses on the Polyspace® desktop user interface. To learn about the equivalent pane in the Polyspace Access™ web interface, see Result Details in Polyspace Access Web Interface (Polyspace Access).

The Result Details pane contains comprehensive information about a specific defect. To see this information, on the Results List pane, select the defect.

On this pane, you can also assign a Severity and Status to each check. You can also enter comments to describe the results of your review. This action helps you track the progress of your review and avoid reviewing the same check twice.

  • The top right corner shows the file and function containing the defect, in the format file_name/function_name.

  • The yellow box contains the name of the defect with an explanation of why the defect occurs.

  • The Event column lists the sequence of code instructions causing the defect. The Scope column lists the function containing the instructions. If the instructions are not in a function, the column lists the file containing the instructions. The Line column lists the line number of the instructions.

  • The Variable trace check box allows you to see an additional set of instructions that are related to the defect.

  • The button allows you to access documentation for the defect.

  • For results that you open from Polyspace Access, you can also:

    • Assign a reviewer to the result. A reviewer can filter the Results List to only show results that are assigned to him or her.

    • Create a ticket in a bug tracking tool (BTT) such as JIRA. Once you create the ticket the Results Details for this defect shows the ticket ID. Click the ID to open the ticket in the BTT interface.
