There are three ways that Coverity Desktop chooses which files to
analyze with Desktop Analysis:
- Analyze Current Editor File
-
This option will run Desktop Analysis on the currently displayed source file. If there are any unsaved changes, the file will be saved when this option is selected.
- Analyze Modified Files (SCM)
-
This option will run Desktop Analysis on all of the source files that are new or modified, relative to the code version most recently checked out from the specified SCM.
This option is not available if you have not configured an SCM system. See SCM.
- Analyze Entire Scope
-
This option will run Desktop Analysis on all of the source files in your active Analysis Configuration's scope.
