Run a scan and view results Visual Studio (New)
This topic is for the new Veracode Static for Visual Studio released April 2022. For the legacy versions of Veracode Static for Visual Studio, see Veracode Static for Visual Studio (Legacy).
Run Scan
If this is your first scan for an application using this extension, see the One-Time Setup section to ensure your scan is properly built and packaged for uploading to Veracode.
The Run Scan button is disabled if a scan is in a failed state. You must resolve the failed scan to re-enable this button.
To start a scan, select Run Scan.
After selecting Run Scan, the application builds the solution with Veracode settings, packages the application, such as zipping the binaries and JavaScript, and begins the scan. The message panel displays the progress:
The messaging panel indicates when it is safe to open new solutions and work on other applications. When the scan completes, the Summary Report displays in the message panel to let you know the results of the scan. In this case, there are multiple findings in both the binaries and the JavaScript.
You can now select View Results to view full details on the findings.
