Configure and Download Baseline with Polyspace as You Code

Step 3 of 3 in Perform Polyspace as You Code Analysis in Visual Studio Code

For more efficient bug fixing, you can create a baseline using Polyspace® Access™ results. Download the baseline and use it to compare your Polyspace as You Code results and focus on new or unreviewed results.

In order to configure baseline results in Polyspace as You Code, you must have a Polyspace Access server login name and password along with an uploaded project result. The project must contain results from an analysis of the same files you are analyzing in Polyspace as You Code.

Configure Baseline

Configure a baseline using your Polyspace Access server information. Click the settings icon in the Baseline pane of the Polyspace sidebar visual studio code settings icon or go to Settings and search for the option polyspace.baseline.

Enter your login, the server URL, and the project path for the project you want to create a baseline for.
