Scans

Scan Management is a view of the scan history of Projects and Applications for the Checkmarx One tenant. A Group or Team Lead can obtain an overview of the risk to a project or feature in its entirety.

To view the Scan Management history, in the main menu click on Scan Management Scan_Management.png > Scans.

The following columns make up the scan history.

Column

Description

ID

The system generated, unique identity, of the project or feature scanned.

Scan Date

The day, date and time when the scan was run.

Project

The name of the project or feature that was scanned.

Branch

The branch that was scanned for a specific project.

Tags

The tags specific to Scan Management. Providing these distinguishing tags is useful for filtering information. A specific scan can be tagged, which ensures that it is easily found when filtered.

Scan Origin

The scanned project location.

Source

This parameter indicates how the project is uploaded onto the system to be scanned. It can be a repository, such as GitHub, or a zipped file.

Initiator

The username of the individual who invoked the scan.

Scan Type

There are two types of scans, Full Scan and Incremental Scan.

  • Full Scan scans all the files in the project.

  • Incremental Scan can only be run once an initial Full Scan has been completed. When a developer adds code to the original file and only wants to scan the new data, an incremental scan can be run. The system will calculate if the new source code is less than 7% of the data and will run an incremental scan. Even if a developer selects the Incremental checkbox and the new source code is more than 7%, a full scan will run. This feature saves time when scanning for vulnerabilities in large projects.

LOC (Line of Code)

Presents the amount of lines of code that were included in the last scan. This feature is essential for users seeking a comprehensive view of their scans, enabling them to promptly spot gaps or missing data, ensuring a thorough analysis.

Status

The scan status. For example, Active when a scan is running, Failed if an error occurs and the scan cannot continue, Completed if the scan is successful and Queued if the scan is waiting to be run.

Quick Filtering

The scan status determines the quick filter that is run from the four scan options provided.
