Module selection

The answer to this, it is solely up to the developer.  Since they developed the app, they will know which modules need to be scanned in it's entirety or not.

By default, the Scanner will select any modules that contain entry points and are not a dependency of any other module in the compilation.  For any module to even be selected at all, it must contain an entry point.

Sometimes customers will have a dependency that they actually need scanned in it's entirety and need to select it. To do this, they would need to click the "show dependencies" button and manually check off any of those modules. However, keep in mind that if a module is not selected, this does not mean that the Scanner does not touch that module, it just means that the Scanner is not going to scan every line of code within it.  What it will do is scan only the code that is called upon by the modules that are selected, which is usually the best approach with dependencies, hence the default selection.  Which is sometimes what is best for the app and the results of it since then they are more realistic, however this judgement call must be made by the developers since they know their own app.
