Viewing Source Code Fingerprint Match Highlights

Code Insight 6.14.2 SP1

Code Insight provides the ability to view ASCII text file contents associated with a given inventory item as well as source code fingerprint match highlights (if available).

To view the contents of a file along with source code fingerprint match highlights, do the following:

1.

Click the View Inventory Files icon () in the Number of Files field. The View Inventory Files page appears:

2.

Click the View icon next to the desired file.

If the auditor marked several matched files as best source matches, you will see a pull-down menu from which you can select the desired remote matched file for comparison. If the auditor did not mark any matches, the system will show the top match automatically. A new View Evidence File window opens with the selected scanned file on the left and the selected (or best) remote matched file on the right.

3.

Review the top header for the corresponding source match heuristics for the scanned file. These include Code Insight CodeRank™, Coverage, Clustering, Uniqueness, and Matches, the number of source matches.

4.

Below the top header, you can choose to check the Enable syntax highlighting checkbox. This allows for highlighting in programming-language-specific color coding (as you might see in a text editor).

5.

Review the File Viewer option. The pull-down allows you to split the dual-pane view horizontally or vertically.

6.

Click the minus icon in the top-right of the Remote File panel to close the panel and show only the contents of the scanned file.
