The Fortify Extension for Visual Studio works with the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE). The extension integrates into the Visual Studio IDE as a software extension. Software security analysis typically consists of the following phases:
The Fortify Extension for Visual Studio uses Opentext™ Fortify Static Code Analyzer and Fortify Secure Coding Rulepacks to locate security vulnerabilities in your solutions and projects (includes support for the following languages: C/C++, C#, Visual Basic (VB.NET), and ASP.NET). The analysis results are displayed in Visual Studio and include a list of issues uncovered, descriptions of the vulnerability type each issue represents, and suggestions on how to fix them. Your organization can also use the Fortify Extension for Visual Studio with Opentext™ Fortify Software Security Center to manage applications and assign specific issues to developers. You can connect with Fortify Software Security Center to review the reported vulnerabilities and implement appropriate solutions from Visual Studio. |
