How To

Register a new ONAP project on Coverity Scan service

1. Visit new project registration page.
2. Fill the following info and "Submit":
   
   • Project Name (e.g. "onap-so")
     • onap-[a-z0-9]+ (avoid using "/")
     • the project name will be used as a parameter for appropriate Jenkins job to submit build results
   • Role - set it to "Maintainer/Ovner"
   • Language (e.g. "Java")
   • Repository URL (e.g. "https://git.onap.org/so/")
   • License (e.g. "Apache")
   • Homepage URL (e.g. "https://www.onap.org/")
   • Reference URL
     • proof of your association with the project, e.g. link to your commit
     • optional but highly recommended
   • Additional information (e.g. "SO is a component of Open Networking Automation Platform - an open source networking project hosted by the Linux Foundation.")
     • optional
3. Project will be created immediately. We can send builds for analysis. However, access to defects report should be unlocked after the project verification by Coverity Scan admins (it usually takes a couple of working days).
4. To configure a Jenkins job for automated build submission we need a Project Token. It can be found on "Project Settings" tab:
   

Use Jenkins to submit builds for Coverity Scan evaluation periodically

Add the following job project to appropriate yaml config. E.g. for SO (https://git.onap.org/ci-management/tree/jjb/so/so.yaml):

- project:
    name: 'so-coverity'
    jobs:
      - 'onap-gerrit-maven-coverity'
    cron: '@daily'
    build-node: 'ubuntu1604-builder-4c-4g'
    project: 'so'
    project-name: 'so'
    branch: 'master'
    mvn-settings: 'so-settings'
    mvn-params: '-Dmaven.test.skip=true'
    coverity-project-name: 'onap-so'
    coverity-token: 'SrGGJp9T1n1lhJn2sF72XQ'
    coverity-user-email: 'artem.naluzhnyy@gmail.com'

Access defect details

1. Open Coverity Scan page for your project. You can either use Coverity Scan projects search or find a direct link on appropriate Jenkins job page:
   
2. If you have not been added to the project on Coverity Scan service yet:
   1. Click on "Add me to project" and fill the form:
      
      
   2. Wait till the project administrators grant you appropriate permissions.
3. Click on "View Defects":
   

Reference Coverity defect ID in commit message

Coverity: CID-12345, CID-67890

Reduce amount of defects

Mark Coverity defect as "not-a-bug"

1. Go to "Triage" section on the right panel of "View Defects" page.
2. Set "Action" to "Ignore" and "Apply".

Disable Findbugs defects

If you have "Maintainer/Owner" permissions for a project:

1. Go to "Project Setting" tab on project page and click "Edit".
2. Check "Exclude Findbugs™ Defects" and "Submit".

Disable tests analysis

Modify "mvn-params" attribute of appropriate Jenkins job to skip build of the tests:

- project:
    name: 'so-coverity'
    mvn-params: '-Dmaven.test.skip=true'
    ...
