Bug state management

Bug state management enables Application Security to make specific updates to bugs as the states of the issues within those bugs change. Application Security checks new security scans to determine whether filed bugs are to remain open, or can be closed.

If analysis results indicate that one of more security issues associated with a previously submitted bug persist (and match the selection criteria), Application Security checks the bug tracking system to ensure that the bug is in a valid open state and, if necessary, reopens the bug.

If all issues associated with a bug are removed (either because the issues were remediated or no longer match the selection criteria), Application Security updates the bug to indicate that stakeholders can resolve or close this ticket. To enable auditing and traceability, Application Security does not automatically resolve or close bugs.
