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.
Custom findings
To augment your analysis results, you can create custom findings. These are user-created findings that AppScan® Source for Analysis adds to the currently-open assessment or selected application. Custom findings impact assessment metrics and can be included in reports. Once created, a custom finding is automatically included in future scans of the application.
Creating custom findings in a findings view
You can create or manage custom findings from multiple findings views (for example, the Findings and Custom Findings views).

Creating custom findings in a findings view

You can create or manage custom findings from multiple findings views (for example, the Findings and Custom Findings views).

Creating a custom finding from a view adds the new finding to the current assessment and updates the assessment metrics.

When adding a custom finding in a findings view, click the view's Create Custom Finding toolbar button. This opens the Create Custom Finding dialog box, which you complete in the same manner as described in Creating a custom finding in the Properties view.

To remove a custom finding, you must exclude it from an assessment or delete it from the application - or by following the instructions in Modifying or removing a custom finding in the Properties view. These actions are not available in other findings views.
