Useful for automated SQA, certifications, but the summary reports could improve
The summary reports could be improved because sometimes it is not very concise. The waiver process can also be improved because Parasoft SQAtest doesn't have a method to waive off one rule. Additionally, adding some guidance on providing standard templates could be helpful for new engineers or in complexity reduction. It could be sustained in a better way because it currently just gives the number that is a level of looping or callings. Hence, if something can be improved to refactor the code, then it should be code restructuring and all the information that can be provided to look at the complexity of the code.
