Technologies view

This section provides a detailed description of the Technologies view. This view essentially provides a means for you to configure the default analysis options for all technologies supported by the CAST Management Studio. The options defined in each technology will be used to populate the same fields:

• in the Analysis tab in the Application editor (for configuring Technology specific options at Application level)
• in an Analysis Unit (for configuring Technology specific options at Analysis Unit level)

Notes

• Making changes to a specific option via this Technologies view will mean all Applications and Analysis Units referencing that specific Technology will "inherit" the same setting
• If you make a change to a specific option at Application or Analysis Unit level, and then subsequently change the same option via the Technologies view, this setting will NOT be mirrored back to the Application or Analysis Unit - this is because specific settings at Application and Analysis Unit level have precedence if they have been changed from the default setting available in the Technologies view.
