Locating issues in source code

Because the Fortify Extension for Visual Studio works as an extension to your Visual Studio IDE, you can use it to locate security-related issues in your code. Make sure that the revision of the source code open in Visual Studio corresponds to the application version you opened on Fortify Software Security Center.

To locate an issue in the source code, do either of the following:

• From a folder in the Fortify Remediation window, select an issue.
• From the Audit tab, select a step from the Analysis Trace.

The Fortify Extension for Visual Studio jumps to the line of code that contains the security-related issue in Visual Studio.
