The Black Duck® Code Sight™ plug-in helps you quickly find quality and security issues in your source code. It helps you fix these issues, and helps increase your confidence that you are checking in clean code.
- Code Sight is a native plug-in that runs within the Eclipse™, IntelliJ® IDEA, and Microsoft® Visual Studio® integrated development environments (IDEs).
- Code Sight runs the Coverity® high-fidelity Fast Desktop Analysis while you work.
- Code Sight scans your source code when you open a file, and when you save a file that has been changed. (There is no need to invoke Code Sight explicitly.)
-
Code Sight is easy to install.
- If you already run Coverity Analysis on your system, Code Sight uses the installation you have been using.
- If Coverity Analysis is not installed locally, Code Sight can automatically download it and install it.
- Code Sight can be configured to share issue triage data between your local system and Coverity Connect, or via the Polaris Software Integrity Platform™ central server.
- If a server with central analysis results is available, this can improve Code Sight performance on your local system: The plug-in downloads analysis summaries from the server, instead of having to generate this data locally.
- Code Sight issue descriptions contain direct links to relevant Black Duck Security eLearning pages (access to Security eLearning requires a separate license).
