HCL® AppScan® Source for Development (Eclipse Plug-in)
With AppScan® Source for Development, you can work in your existing development environment and perform security vulnerability analysis on Java and IBM® MobileFirst Platform projects. Security analysis lets you pinpoint vulnerabilities in the source code and eliminate them entirely with AppScan Source Security Knowledgebase remediation assistance.
Creating variables
To open an assessment or bundle previously created in AppScan® Source for Analysis that relies on a path variable, you should create a matching variable in your development environment. Creating a variable ensures that the data is available across multiple computers. To share assessment data you must define the appropriate variables.
