Run your first check

1. Open CodeCheck

Checks → Open CodeCheck. The CodeCheck panel opens (docked on the right by default) with a New Inspection section.

2. Choose a configuration

Pick from the Configuration: dropdown — a built-in standard (MISRA, AUTOSAR, CERT, …) or one of your own. Click the button next to it to browse standards and see what each tests.

Make your own: in the configuration manager, click +, name it, select checks, and Save. Or select a standard and copy it, then trim it to your needs — see build and share a custom configuration.

3. Choose the files

In the Files: dropdown pick a scope:

  • All Files (No Filter)
  • Files changed since last run
  • Uncommitted changes
  • an architecture (run on one subsystem)
  • Customize (pick specific files)

4. Inspect

Click Inspect. When it finishes, the run appears in the Inspections list (each inspection is a snapshot). Open it to review results — see view & triage violations.

The CodeCheck window after an inspection: a summary strip of violations, checks, and files; a violations-by-check bubble chart; a top-violations-by-file treemap; and the New Inspection panel with the Inspect button on the right.
After an inspection: the results summary with per-check and per-file breakdowns; the New Inspection panel (right) is where you pick a configuration and Inspect again.

Re-run quickly

Checks → Re-Run repeats the last run; Analyze Changes and Re-Run re-analyzes first (useful after editing).
