Coverity Connect

How to Access

To access Coverity Connect, go to http://vclv99-98.hpc.ncsu.edu:8080/reports.htm from a VCL reservation. Login with your Coverity username and password (the same username and password you use to run Coverity scans).

To view and export issues, click on the link to the project (module) you wish to examine, e.g. csc515_calculation.

You should be directed to a page similar to the one below, showing the results of any scans you performed on that module. The default report is the report of outstanding issues. This is a good report to use for the CSC515 project.

You can select individual alerts by clicking on them, to find more details on the specific issue found by the scan.
