Comparing Polyspace BF results from different projects

The way my CI is currently setup is that it creates a new project per branch. What I want is to compare the result of two branches using the polyspace-access export command. I tried downloading the result from one project and uploading it to the other but it failed.

Hi @Ahmed

To compare Polyspace Bug Finder (BF) results from different projects using the polyspace-access export command, you can follow these steps:

• Export Results from Both Projects: Use the polyspace-access command to export the results from both projects to TSV (tab-separated values) files. For example:

polyspace-access -export -project myProject1 -output results1.tsv 
polyspace-access -export -project myProject2 -output results2.tsv

• Read and Compare Results in MATLAB: Load the TSV files into MATLAB and compare the results

results1 = readtable('results1.tsv', 'FileType', 'text');
results2 = readtable('results2.tsv', 'FileType', 'text'); 

comparison = outerjoin(results1, results2, 'MergeKeys', true, 'Keys', 'ID'); 
disp(comparison);

Refer to this documentation to know more about opening and exporting results from Polyspace Access:

• Open or Export Results from Polyspace Access

I hope this helps.

Hi @Manikanta Aditya,

Thank you for your response. I was looking for an automated solution because I’m implementing this as part of my CI pipeline. I’ll explore ways to compare TSV files automatically, but if you know of any other methods that might be more suitable, please let me know.
