Inspection Profile

When you inspect your code, you have to tell IntelliJ IDEA which types of problems you would like to search for and get reports about. Such configuration can be preserved as an inspection profile.

Inspection profile defines the types of problems to be sought for, severity of these problems, and color scheme of alerts.

Inspection profiles can be stored on the IDE or project level:

• Project profiles are shared and accessible for the team members. They are stored in project.
• IDE profiles are intended for personal use only and are stored locally in XML files under the USER_HOME/.<product name>/config/inspection directory.

Inspection profiles are not associated with scopes, and are mapped to inspections directly. Profiles are configurable in the Inspections dialog box.
