Creating your first project
“Projects” are used within the CodeScan Developer product to group together files that will be scanned together. A project usually consists of the source files of the web application to be tested.
A file must be placed into a project before it can be scanned by the CodeScan Developer application.
Projects are managed through the Project Management window, accessed by choosing menu option File – Project Management. The toolbar allows the users to add, remove and configure projects, and to manage saved scans.
To Create a New Project
- Either select File, New from the menu, or Click on the orange Project button
- In the Project Properties dialog:
- enter a name for the project in the Project Name field;
- enter the path of the base folder for the project in the Project Folder field, or click the ellipsis (…) button to browse for the base folder;
the base folder of a project is the folder where all files to be scanned are located, typically the root folder of a web application.
- enter a description for the project in the Description field (optional);
- select the programming language from the Language drop down box;
- click the Save button
- In the File Manager dialog: add all the relevant files associated with application to be scanned. It is recommended that everything
inside the web root directory is added to a project, which ensures that the scan will give accurate results. Once the files have been selected for inclusion, click the Save button.
