What is prescan verification?

The Veracode Platform performs a preliminary analysis, or prescan, of your binaries to validate that they can be analyzed, and to give you an opportunity to fix problems before submitting your scan request. The results of the prescan verification are given as messages in the module table.

During prescan, red and orange informational messages will be shown in the status column. Red messages prevent scanning of the corresponding module. Orange messages indicate issues that should be corrected to ensure an accurate scan, but do not block analysis from proceeding. Green messages indicate that all is well with the associated module. If there is a failure, Veracode will attempt to provide details on why the failure occurred and how to resolve it.

After you resolve a prescan warning, you will need to resubmit the affected files or libraries to the Veracode Platform. If you need to re-upload binaries, or upload new binaries, click the Back or Add Files button, locate the files to be added, and upload them. Refer to the Veracode Help Center for more information on prescan error messages and application submission-error codes.
