A list of checkers can be selected for static analysis. For a new project, all the checkers are selected by default.
To select checkers for your application:

The Tizen Static Analyzer results are displayed in the Potential Bug view after the analysis is completed.
The Potential Bug view opens automatically, when you make a build or check potential bugs. To open the Potential Bugs explicitly:

- Type Potential Bugs.
- Select Potential Bugs and click OK.
