The
Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) provides capabilities to integrate
a variety of analysis providers. Each analysis provider can supply tools that
provide different forms of analysis, but the interface for the tools remains
consistent in the TPTP analysis framework.
Using the Java code review provider that is part of
TPTP, you can run a static analysis of the resources that you are working
with to detect violations of rules and rule categories. The analysis generates
a report, in an
Analysis Results view, of results that
do not conform to the rules that you specify.
The Java and Debug perspectives
provide analysis capabilities by default, but you can customize any other
perspective to include analysis capabilities. The analysis framework allows
both third-party tool vendors and anyone writing new tools to integrate different
forms of analysis without changing how you perform analysis operations.
