New feature

Added capability to run Coverity on Polaris incremental analysis (LCA) scans on SCM changesets

Known issue

The analysis tools download fails if tools are not pre-installed.

To install and use the Coverity on Polaris ADO extension for incremental analysis, you must pre-install the analysis tools on a self-hosted agent and set the POLARIS_HOME environment variable to the location where the agent expects the tools to be installed.

This pre-installation of tools is not possible on Microsoft hosted agents (ephemeral agents), which precludes running incremental analysis on ephemeral agents. (POL-12393)

Resolved Issue

Resolved an authentication issue with Coverity on Polaris from the plug-in [IPLRSADO-61]
