What is a scannable module?

Every scan with Veracode Static Analysis is comprised of two parts:

  1. Pre-scan (typically takes 5 to 10 minutes), which results in a module selection 
  2. Analysis, which results in the actual flaws

In the pre-scan, it analyzes your upload for what we call Scannable Modules.
A loose definition:
 

"A collection of inter-dependent files, scannable as one independent unit, optionally identified by a potentially user-facing entry point."


When we analyze the upload of static languages, we will typically create several modules of either of the following categories:

  1. top-level module, our heuristics have determined that this may be user-facing. Typically means this group of files with this entry point does not have anything call into it.
  2. dependency module, hidden by default in our UI, this file or groups of files are called by other files in the upload.
