Review Status of Defects
After an analysis, some time needs to be dedicated to reviewing the defects found by Kiuwan before they are submitted to the developers.
Reasons to review defects can be various, e.g. to confirm if it's a true or false positive.
For this process, Kiuwan has the option of setting a Status for every defect:
| Status name | Description |
|---|---|
| To review | The defect is open for review. |
| Reviewed | The defect has been reviewed |
It is also possible to add Notes to the review process.
After the review:
- Proceed to its remediation (for example by creating an Action Plan and Export it to Jira)
- Or mute it (for any specific reason, see Muting Defects for further info)
Note for the Kiuwan IDE Plug-In
Defects' Review Status is exported to the Kiuwan IDE Plug-In and displayed within Server Defects List.
This allows informing developers of those defects that should be reviewed.
