Alternative translation options for Visual Studio solutions
The following are two alternative ways of translation available only for Visual Studio solutions:
Use the Fortify Extension for Visual Studio
The Fortify Extension for Visual Studio runs the translation and analysis (scan) phases together in one step.
Append a devenv command to the OpenText SAST command
The following command translates the Visual Studio solution
Sample.sln:sourceanalyzer –b MySampleProj devenv Sample.sln /rebuild
Note that OpenText SAST converts a devenv invocation to the equivalent MSBuild invocation, therefore in this case, the solution with this command is built by MSBuild instead of the devenv tool.
