Triage and analysis
Grouping similar findings allows security analysts or IT auditors to segment and triage source code problems. This section explains how to triage AppScan® Source assessments and analyze results.
Triage with filters
AppScan® Source for Analysis reports on all potential security vulnerabilities and may produce many thousands of findings for a medium to large code base. When you scan, you may find that the findings list contains items that are not important to you. To remove certain findings from the Findings view, you can choose a predefined filter or you can create your own filter. A filter specifies the criteria that determine which findings to remove from view.
Applying filters
Filters can be applied before or after scanning. To apply filters after scanning, use the Filter Editor or another view that allows you to apply filters. To apply filters before scanning, set a global filter or filter using a scan configuration. When you apply filters before scanning, you cannot show unfiltered findings or remove the filter without scanning again.
