Configure scanning properties per persona

You can view and configure a variety of information, formatted into lists, that the Scan Engine uses to permit users, team leads, and admins to access content.

TeamDev scanning properties

You can specify whether to scan TeamDev code pushes that are pending a review. You can also specify the requirements they must meet to be automatically approved or rejected.

If you use TeamDev as a method for pushing code, the Scan Engine can be used to scan code pushes that are pending a code review. You scan these pushes for findings, as well as define the conditions to automatically approve or reject code reviews.

Note:

Code reviews must be enabled for TeamDev scanning to work properly. Additionally, admins must perform a one-time API configuration to enable TeamDev scanning. For more information, refer to Register your instance.

Properties include:

• Automatically scan pushes pending Code Review (auto_scan_team_dev_pushes)
• Automatically approve or reject pushes (team_dev_auto_approve)
• Approval condition (team_dev_approval_condition)
  Note:

  The default approval condition is total_errors=0. This means TeamDev code pushes with zero errors will be auto-approved.
• Code reviewer user (team_dev_user)

Users and administrators

This is a list that contains a record for each role given out in the system that is related to the Scan Engine.

Team leads

The team and team leads defined here can view the Team Lead information in the Analytics Dashboard.

1. To define teams and team leads, select New.
2. Configure the following fields and settings.

   Field/Setting	Description
   Active	Determines if the Scan Engine Team Lead record is active.
   Team Name	Specify the name of the team as it will appear in reports within the Scan Engine.
   Team Lead	Identifies the team lead or manager of this group.
   My Team - Users	Specify the user or list of users that are part of this team.
   My Team - Groups	Specify the group or list of groups that are part of this team.

Set requirements for automatic approval or rejection

To automatically scan TeamDev code pushes when they are committed, configure the Automatically Scan Pushes Pending Code Review option:

1. Enable Automatically approve or reject pushes.
2. Add a Code reviewer user for additional tracking.

   You can see the table that will be used for checking scan results.

3. Use the condition builder to specify the rules for how a code push is approved.

   If it does not meet these rules, it will be rejected.

   Note:

   By default, one condition is already set, which says that the total number of errors found must be zero.

You can add and configure additional filter conditions by selecting Add filter condition. You can also add and configure OR clauses by selecting Add OR clause.

Note:

You can append filter conditions and OR clauses to existing conditions by selecting the AND or OR options next to them.
