Squore 20.1 was released on July 31st 2020

This release brings:

• Dynamic finding statuses

Read on to take a visual tour of the new features of Squore 20.1 !

New Feature

Dynamic finding statuses

Now you can define your finding statuses in the model and use it like any standard ones.

There are 5 standard statuses:

• Open: default status when no status is set
• Confirmed (Default): the finding is a real violation, confirmed after a user investigation
• Relaxed (Derogation)
• Relaxed (False positive)
• Relaxed (Legacy system)

To add a new "confirmed" status and a new "relaxed" status, add this line on your analysis model:

<FindingStatus id="CONFIRMED_CUSTOM" type="CONFIRMED" />
<FindingStatus id="RELAXED_CUSTOM" type="RELAXED" />

On the model, by default, when a computation count the number of occurrences, it counts the number of OPEN + CONFIRMED occurrences (not the RELAXED ones):

<Measure measureId="FINDINGS_OPEN_AND_CONFIRMED">
	<Computation targetArtefactTypes="APPLICATION" result="COUNT RULE.OCCURRENCES FROM TREE" />
</Measure>

It is also possible to count only the CONFIRMED occurrences or the number of occurrences in a status id:

<!-- Count the number of findings with 'CONFIRMED_xxx' statuses -->
<Measure measureId="FINDINGS_CONFIRMED">
	<Computation targetArtefactTypes="APPLICATION" result="COUNT RULE.OCCURRENCES(CONFIRMED) FROM TREE" />
</Measure>

<!-- Count the number of findings with 'CONFIRMED_CUSTOM' status -->
<Measure measureId="FINDINGS_CONFIRMED_CUSTOM">
	<Computation targetArtefactTypes="APPLICATION" result="COUNT RULE.OCCURRENCES(CONFIRMED) FROM TREE WHERE IS_STATUS_FINDING(CONFIRMED_CUSTOM)" />
</Measure>

<!-- Count the number of findings with 'RELAXED_CCB_APPROVED' status -->
<Measure measureId="FINDINGS_RELAXED_CUSTOM">
	<Computation targetArtefactTypes="APPLICATION" result="COUNT RULE.OCCURRENCES(RELAXED) FROM TREE WHERE IS_STATUS_FINDING(RELAXED_CUSTOM)" />
</Measure>
