An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Dynamic application security testing (DAST) tools treat running code as black boxes, sending in inputs and analyzing outputs. Static application security testing tools (SAST), in contrast, review source code for bugs and vulnerabilities.
Code Intelligence leverages AI to combine the best of DAST and SAST, automatically and continually reviewing source code for security vulnerabilities as developers work.
The tool identifies bugs that traditional testing methods might miss, yielding fewer false positives than SAST tools.
Code Intelligence is dynamic enough to qualify as DAST, but shifts testing to the left, unlike other DAST tools that only work after code runs.
