Security Scan Status Tile

Applies to ReadyAPI 3.56, last modified on October 29, 2024

The Security Scan Status tile shows a status of recently run security scans of security tests and gives you an understanding of potential security vulnerabilities of your target services.

The tile presents this information in a chart where the horizontal axis shows the scan types, and the vertical axis shows the total number of security scans in a project.

Below is a sample view of the tile:
