Creating a baseline archive

Create a baseline archive for a baseline analysis configuration.

Before you begin

Open the software analysis configuration window and change the mode to baseline analysis configuration mode.

Procedure

To create a baseline archive:

  1. On Configuration tab, in the "Baseline archives" group, click New.
  2. In the New Baseline window, in the Baseline name field, type a name for the new baseline archive.
  3. You must select an analysis history (set of results) to be included in the baseline archive. You can either select an existing history or create a new history by running a code review on an available software analysis configuration.
    • To select an existing analysis history:
      1. Select Baseline using a previous analysis.
      2. Expand the list of analysis histories and select one. The list includes all the analysis histories that are available in the Software Analyzer Results view.
      3. Click OK.
    • To create a new analysis history:
      1. Select Baseline using a new analysis.
      2. Expand the list of software analysis configurations and select one. The list includes all the software analysis configurations that are available in the left pane of the software analysis configuration window.
      3. Click OK

      A code review is run on the selected configuration and a new analysis history is created.

Results

A new baseline archive is created. The archive is added to the list of baseline archives and is automatically selected. Depending on the choice in Step 3, the archive contains the results from either the selected analysis history or the newly generated analysis history.
