Why does Coverity show fixed defects and FP’s as still-outstanding defects?
I’m using Coverity Scan with an OSS project. Most of the issues found are FP’s or by-design, a few are genuine issues. In all cases they’ve been classified as FP, intentional, or fixed. However Coverity is still listing them as “Outstanding Defects” even though there’s no defect there. Is there some magic toggle you have to flip on issues to tell Coverity to stop treating, say, a FP as an outstanding defect?
Is there a possible way to use a specific project analysis results in a new project for the same src files?
I have some old coverity runs for some src files. I have copied those src files under new directory but src files hierarchy as well as files names are already the same. I want to start a new coverity project to analyze src files in their new directory (I preferably don’t want to touch the old project) but somehow import the old analysis results (like the latest assignees for the defects, first detection dates or any old analysis results). Is there a way to do so ?
