Creating a new project for an application

After you add an application, you add projects to it. Project types that can be scanned include: Java/JSP, Xcode (iOS projects only), ASP, C/C++, COBOL, ColdFusion, .NET Assembly, Pattern Based, Perl, PHP, PL/SQL, Python, T-SQL, Visual Basic, and JavaScript™ (including AngularJS and Node.js).

About this task

Note: You cannot create a project for an Xcode project. Instead, Xcode projects are imported to AppScan® Source for Analysis as applications or added to applications as existing projects. See Adding an existing application or Adding an existing project for details.

If you use make to compile your project, it is recommended that you use the Ounce/Make utility to create a project file and then add the project file. If you use ant to compile your project, use Ounce/Ant to create a project file and then add the project file.

Note: The default file encoding for AppScan Source projects is ISO-8859-1. The default file encoding can be changed in the General preference page.
Note: When applications and projects are created using the New Application Wizard and New Project wizard, their file name is automatically assigned according to the Name entered in the wizard (for example, if a project is being created and MyProject is entered in the Name field, the project filename will be MyProject.ppf). Application and project names can be renamed using the Properties view.
