Improving the quality of the first introduction to static analysis with the Intelligence Diagnostic Filter

Imagine you have decided to try a static analysis tool for the first time. You launch analysis and get hundreds or thousands of warnings. Among them, of course, there will be false positives. Unfortunately, static analysis is impossible without them. All in all, your impression of the tool will depend on which warnings you see first.

Nikolai's team thought it over and decided to make the Intelligence Diagnostic Filter mechanism that allows you to look through the best warnings. In this report we will see its concrete implementation in a plugin for Visual Studio 2022.
