+
+### Static Analysis
+
+Static analysis and flow analysis help you verify code quality and ensure compliance with industry standards, such as CWE or OWASP. Static analysis is a software testing method that examines the source code without executing it to detect errors, vulnerabilities, and violations of coding standards. Flow analysis refers to the examination and evaluation of data or control flow within a program or system to identify potential issues such as resource leaks, dead code, security vulnerabilities, or performance bottlenecks. 
+See [Parasoft dotTEST User Guide](https://docs.parasoft.com/display/DOTTEST20252) for details regarding static and flow analysis with dotTEST as well as other dotTEST capabilities.
+
+### Run Parasoft dotTEST GitHub Action
+
+The `Run Parasoft dotTEST` action enables you to run code analysis with dotTEST and review analysis results directly on GitHub. To launch code analysis with dotTEST, add the `Run Parasoft dotTEST` action to your GitHub workflow. [The example](https://github.com/parasoft/run-dottest-action/blob/master/samples/run-dottest-analyzer-template.yml) illustrates a simple workflow consisting of one job "run-dottest-action".
+
+See [Run dotTEST Action @ GitHub Marketplace](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/run-parasoft-dottest) for details regarding configuration and usage.
+See also [Run dotTEST Action project](https://github.com/parasoft/run-dottest-action).
+
+
+### Autofix in CI/CD Using Aider
+
+`DottestAutoFix` is a Python-based script that leverages AI-powered code analysis to automatically fix dotTEST violations in your .NET projects, based on a generated analysis report. Once a fix is applied, the plugin validates it using `dottestcli` and then adds a commit to the current branch in your project repository.
+The following example shows a simple Autofix execution:
+```batch
+@REM Execute autofix with recommended settings
+python DottestAutoFix.py ^
+ --report ".dottest/report/report.xml" ^
+ --max-attempts 3 ^
+ --solution BankExample.sln ^
+ --tool-home "C:\Program Files\Parasoft\dotTEST\2025.2"
+```
+
+See [**LINK**](https://docs.parasoft.com/display/DOTTEST20252/Fixing+Violations+Using+AI+Autofix) for details regarding Autofix configuration and usage.
