About Fortify Audit Assistant auto-prediction

By setting auto-predict to yes, you can configure Application Security to automatically send issues for Fortify Audit Assistant predictions after FPRs are successfully uploaded and processed. (If you prefer to submit FPRs for prediction manually, then there is no need to configure auto-prediction.)

If both auto-predict and auto-apply are enabled for an application version, then Fortify Audit Assistant automatically applies predicted values to custom tags on new issues after prediction is completed. (Audit Assistant prediction results are always applied to an application version, but if auto-apply is not enabled, the information is stored only in Audit Assistant-specific tags. If auto-apply is enabled, Audit Assistant-specific values are also mapped to other tags, based on the configuration.)

Only unpredicted issues (uncovered by a supported analyzer) found at the end of FPR processing are automatically submitted to Fortify Audit Assistant for assessment. After Fortify Audit Assistant has assessed an issue, it does not revisit that issue.

Auto-prediction enablement for an application version is a two-step process. First, an Administrator enables it system wide in the Fortify Audit Assistant configuration (see Configuring Fortify Audit Assistant). After this, users need to enable auto-prediction on a per-application-version basis (see Enabling auto-apply and auto-predict for an application version).
