Issue severity

An issue severity is made up of a level from 1 through 10, plus a label such as Warning. Severities are displayed for detected issues in Klocwork Static Code Analysis and on the desktop. Each checker has a default severity.

The available severity levels and their default labels are as follows:

• 1 - Critical
• 2 - Error
• 3 - Warning
• 4 - Review
• 5 - Severity 5
• 6 - Severity 6
• 7 - Severity 7
• 8 - Severity 8
• 9 - Severity 9
• 10 - Severity 10

By default, checkers are assigned severities 1 through 4. Custom checkers are assigned severity 4 by default.

You can edit:

• the severity level for individual checkers
• the labels for each severity level
