What is OpenText Static Application Security Testing?

Traditional SAST tools often require tuning and expertise, overwhelming teams with false positives. Others are easy to use, but miss vulnerabilities. OpenText™ Static Application Security Testing (Fortify) (SAST) enables DevSecOps with precise vulnerability detection, broad language support, and seamless CI/CD integration. AI-driven insights help developers prioritize and resolve vulnerabilities efficiently, reducing security risk across the SDLC.

What differentiates OpenText Static Application Security Testing from other similar products?

OpenText Static Application Security Testing is really good, at looking at code closely and finding a lot of security issues. OpenText Static Application Security Testing supports different programming languages. It also works well with the tools that developers use every day. This helps teams find and fix security problems on when they are making software with OpenText Static Application Security Testing.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I really like OpenText Static Application Security Testing because it does a job of checking for security problems. OpenText Static Application Security Testing gives us easy to understand results that tell us what to do. This helps us find problems with OpenText Static Application Security Testing, on. So when we use OpenText Static Application Security Testing it is easier for the people making the software to figure out what to fix and then fix the problems they find with OpenText Static Application Security Testing.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One thing that is not so great is that some things people say they found need to be looked at before we can say they are true. If we can make the results more accurate and give information about the problems that are found then it will be easier for people to fix them and it will take less work to do it. The results and the issues that are identified by the system, like the findings need to be checked again to make sure they are correct and this is where the findings and the results come in.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I think OpenText Static Application Security Testing is a choice, for companies that want to find security problems early on when they are making software. You should set it up to work with your development environment add it to your CI/CD pipeline and look at the results often to really benefit from using OpenText Static Application Security Testing. This way you can get the most out of OpenText Static Application Security Testing.
