Basic Tutorial

JavaScript is not currently enabled, but is required for full CodeSonar manual search and browse functionality.

If you are viewing this file in your hub's Web GUI, enable JavaScript in your browser: you will also need it for GUI functionality.

If you opened this file directly from disk, your browser may be directly suppressing JavaScript functionality: certain browsers perform this suppression on local files (but not files delivered by web servers) for security reasons.

If you access the manual through the hub's Web GUI, the functionality will not be suppressed because the hub is a web server.
Alternatively, your browser may allow you to explicitly disable the security setting that suppresses functionality. See the CodeSonar FAQ for more information.

Basic Tutorial

This tutorial introduces you to CodeSonar using a sample program that is provided with the product. You will build and analyze a provided sample program, then use the CodeSonar Web GUI to browse and interpret the analysis results.

Sample programs are provided for C/C++, Java, and C# analyses.

Setting Up

Update the setting of your PATH environment variable to include $CSONAR/codesonar/bin if it is not already present (where $CSONAR is the path to your CodeSonar installation directory).

On Windows systems this is typically c:\Program Files\CodeSecure\CodeSonar\codesonar\bin

Select or create a working directory. The working directory location must be outside both your CodeSonar installation directory and your hub directory.

cd to the working directory.

Go on to the first step: making sure the hub is ready.
