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.
