The version of Coverity used for static analysis can be modified at the organization, application, project, and branch level. To change a branch's Coverity version, follow these steps:
Note: Only Organization Administrators, Organization Application Managers, Application Administrators, Application Contributors, and other users with permissions to manage branch settings can complete these steps.
-
Go to Portfolio, open an application, and open a project.
-
Go to Branches.
-
Select the options
icon at the end of the branch's row and select Edit.
The Edit Branch window opens.
-
Under SAST Analysis, select the appropriate Coverity version, as required.
- To use the latest supported version of Coverity, select Automatically use latest version (recommended).
Selecting this option ensures that the branch always uses the most recent supported version of Coverity. When a new version of Coverity is available, the branch will automatically use it for SAST tests.
- To use a specific version of Coverity, select Use a specific tool version, and select the appropriate version from the dropdown.
Important: Here, you can select the latest supported version of Coverity, or a deprecated one. When you choose a specific version of Coverity, the version assigned to the branch will not change when a new version of Coverity is added to Polaris, even if support for the version you selected is removed. When support for a version of Coverity ends, SAST tests that attempt to use the unsupported version will not run. To resume testing, you must activate a supported version of Coverity.
-
Select Save.
Important: After you change a branch's Coverity version, a full SAST test must be performed on the branch before rapid SAST tests can run.
