Performing a collaborative audit

You can audit a project in Application Security collaboratively with other Application Security users.

To start a collaborative audit:

1. If necessary, configure a connection to Application Security:

   1. From the Fortify extension menu, select Options.
   2. In the left pane, select Server Configuration.

   3. Under Software Security Center, specify the Server URL for Fortify Software Security Center.

      Click Test Connection to confirm that the URL is valid, and you can successfully connect to the Fortify Software Security Center server.

   4. Click OK.
2. If you already have an audit project open, close it.

3. From the Fortify extension menu, select Open Collaborative Audit.

4. If prompted, type your Application Security login credentials.

   For information about logging into Application Security, see Logging in to Application Security.

5. In the Download Collaborative Audit dialog box, select an application version, and then click Select.

   The Fortify Extension for Visual Studio downloads the audit project file from Application Security and opens it in the auditing interface.

6. Audit the project as described in Auditing Issues.
7. When you complete the audit, select Upload Audit Project from the Fortify extension menu.
