Taxonomy

A taxonomy is an organizational structure for your analysis results.

Taxonomies allow you to view the results of your build analysis in unlimited ways. By default, there are three taxonomies: C and C++, Java, and C#. Each taxonomy contains multiple categories, and each category contains multiple issue types.

A Validate administrator can create taxonomies, each with a distinct set of checkers, to match an organization's reporting needs. Any particular checker can appear in multiple taxonomies; many of the checkers in the MISRA C taxonomy, for example, also appear in the MISRA C++ taxonomy.

Validate administrators can organize checkers between analysis runs and make the new organizational structure immediately available for reporting in Validate.
