Tools / Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool (TMT) Interview questions

Describe the Analysis view in TMT?

The Analysis view is the tab you switch to after building a diagram - it's where the generated threat list actually lives, separate from the visual canvas.

From here you can filter or sort threats by STRIDE category, priority, or state, click into an individual threat to read its auto-generated description, set its state as you triage it, and add a justification or mitigation note in a free-text field. It's also where you trigger Generate All Threats, and once triage is complete, where you kick off the Create Report action that produces the shareable HTML output.

The Analysis view is primarily used to:
From the Analysis view you can trigger:
