Build automation use case

AppScan Enterprise helps you ensure security in the build automation stage of the software development lifecycle. Automated product build testing can reduce the time to run repetitive tests from days to hours, and many development teams run nightly product builds.

Teams that use third-party scanners can enable the Remove Orphaned Issues check box on a scanner. When the scanner imports complete scan results, issues that were previously imported are automatically removed if they are no longer found.

Note: DAST scans that are associated with an application in the Monitor view of AppScan Enterprise also behave the same way.

Enable the Remove Orphaned Issues check box if you want to remove issues that were previously found in an application but are not included in subsequent imports with the same scan name. Enabling the check box helps ensure that only the issues with the current build are reported.

Note: When the check box is enabled, there is the potential to permanently delete all issues with the same scan name and scanner. If you use the same scan name with the same scanner on subsequent imports, any issues that are previously found by the scanner and are not found in the latest results are permanently deleted.
