Test the checker

Deploy the custom checker to your desktop by extracting the zip file into the <username>/.klocwork/plugins directory, creating the directory if it doesn't already exist.
If the C/C++ checker is platform-specific, the extracted files may include a subdirectory, for example, <username>/.klocwork/plugins/ix86-pc-linux or <username>/.klocwork/plugins/ix86-pc-win32.
Set up a local project in the directory where you developed the checker.
```
kwcheck create -b <build_specification>
```
where
<build_specification> was created with make install buildspec or nmake install buildspec. By default, the build specification is written to kwinject.out in the current working directory.
Run kwcheck to see if the issue is detected in your test case:
```
kwcheck run
```
Your checker will detect the issue from your test case.
When you're running the kwcheck command repeatedly, use kwcheck with the -r option to make sure Klocwork doesn't skip files that have no apparent changes.
If you are satisfied with the results, you can deploy your checker to the server.
Uninstall the checker from your desktop by deleting the files that you extracted in Step 1 from the plugins directory .
