Basics of the Veracode Platform

If you're new to application security testing or using the Veracode Platform, the following sections introduce the key concepts and tasks for setting up your application security program and running scans.

• Review and customize your application security policy: define the standards for application security that you want to enforce through Veracode, or use one of the built-in Veracode policies.
• Get started with application risk management: identify which internally developed applications to scan first.
• Define the application portfolio: add applications to your portfolio to begin scanning them in the Veracode Platform.
• Review supported languages, platforms, and application packaging requirements: confirm that your applications are compatible with Veracode Static Analysis and meet packaging requirements to ensure accurate scan results.
• Choose a scan type: select the best scan type for your application based on its business criticality and architecture.
• Supported languages and platforms: review the supported languages and platforms for Veracode Static Analysis.
• Compile your application for a Static Analysis: follow the compilation and packaging guidelines to ensure a successful scan.
