Introduction

Perforce QAC is a Source Code Analysis Management framework for managing source code analysis projects and analyzers.

It is designed to provide you with an Analysis System that handles several programming languages, using selectable analysis components. In the case of C and C++, it supports mixed language projects that use both languages.

Help on Perforce QAC GUI, CLI and individual components is available via the Perforce QAC Welcome Page and the Help Menu. The full documentation set, in both HTML and PDF format, can be found under the Perforce QAC installation folder.
  • The documentation for Perforce QAC can be found under the folder; common\doc-en_US\doc
  • The documentation for each component can be found under the components sub-folder, for example; components\qac-[version]\doc-en_US\doc

Select which manual you require followed by "html" and the top .html file, or else "pdf" and the relevant .pdf file. You will need a PDF reader to open this latter file.

The documentation is available in English (doc-en_US) and Japanese (doc-ja_JP).

The default setup uses the underlying Primary Analysis components such as the Perforce QAC for C and Perforce QAC for C++ parsers, but its strength lies in the flexibility of configuring an analysis chain, using other Secondary Analysis components.
