- Client or server?
The same installation package works for both servers and clients.
- For a standalone project, install VE on a client PC.
- If you wish to share your code analysis among several developers, and/or schedule the code analysis on a regular basis, It is highly recommended to install VE on a Server machine.
- Installation: Download and install Visual Expert from this page.
- Code analysis:
Select your code and start the Analysis.
Note : If your project is connected to a database, read this article to select the DB objects that Visual Expert should analyze.
- Check your Repository
You need to verify that the repository created automatically during the VE installation can handle your volume of code. If not, we will guide you to create the proper Repository:
- Do you see the default screen with the number of objects analyzed?
- Check the status of your code analysis:
Open Visual Expert and go to [Code analysis - Manage analysis]
Is the "status" of your code analysis "completed"?
If the analysis was not properly completed, read this article to create a new Repository that will support your volume of code.
