When there are AppMaps available in your project, AppMap Runtime Analysis will immediately scan them to detect flaws in the code. These flaws are surfaced as findings and are displayed in your code editor as you work so that they can be addressed before they are propagated to Test or Production environments.
AppMap makes information about findings available in four places:
Visual Studio Code
JetBrains editors
In Visual Studio Code, findings are displayed In the Runtime Analysis sidebar pane sorted by impact category and type.
Clicking the ‘Overview’ link in the Runtime Analysis sidebar will open the ‘Runtime Analysis Summary’ window which contains a high-level roll up of findings for a particular project.
Findings are displayed in the ‘Problems’ window, in-line with other project-related errors and issues. Every instance of a finding presented in the problems tab includes metadata related to the issue as well as linkage to the affected areas of the code.

JetBrians code editors
A “code squiggle” indicates that there is a finding associated with that line of code. However over the squiggle to open a detailed description of the finding.
