Deliveries can be "promoted" to baseline without the need to run a new analysis.
To promote a delivery to a baseline means that a new baseline will be calculated based on delivery analysis results.
This new baseline will be calculated differently depending on the delivery scope.
If the delivery is Complete, new baseline indicators will be calculated based completely on delivery defects, i.e. not taking into account any previous baseline analysis.
If the delivery is Partial, new baseline indicators will be incrementally calculated as follows:
- For any new file contained in the delivery (i.e. not existing in the baseline), the file and associated defects will be included as part of the new baseline.
- For every file contained in the delivery and in the baseline, defects found during the delivery analysys will overwritte defects found when analyzed in the baseline
- For those files contained in the baseline but not included in the delivery, previous defects will be maintained

Deliveries promotion to Baseline can be done either using Kiuwan Deliveries page or using Kiuwan Local Analyzer in Command-Line Interface mode.
This section describes how to do it using Kiuwan Deliveries page.
For help on how to do it using Kiuwan Local Analyzer, please visit Code analysis using the downloaded agent#DeliveriesPromotiontoBaseLine documentation page.
The promotion is not restricted to successfully deliveries. If you want to promote a failed delivery you are allowed to do it.
Once you click in 'Promote to baseline' link, you are asked for a new label for the baseline. By default, the delivery label is proposed.
The promotion analysis is added to an execution queue. Once is finished, the results are showed in the application Dashboard as a new baseline analysis.
This analysis will contain a legend that indicates that the baseline comes from a delivery analysis.
