Problem to solve

The application security tools' documentation is lacking in some areas.

Further details

These topics are intended to expand on the existing documentation and supplement documentation changes being made as part of Security Products Documentation Overhaul (gitlab-com&2375).

Proposal

Add the following topics to the existing documentation:

  • Getting started (Provides guidance on how and where to get started, usually a small-scale effort)
  • Understanding the results (Describes how to evaluate the tool's output)
  • Optimization (Describes how to optimize the tool prior to mass deployment. For example, tuning rules to reduce false positives)
  • Rollout (Hints and tips on how to rollout the tool at scale)
