About quick scan

Quick scan mode provides a way to quickly scan your projects for critical- and high-priority issues. OpenText SAST performs the scan faster by reducing the depth of the analysis and applying the Quick View filter set. Quick scan settings are configurable. For more details about the configuration of quick scan mode, see the OpenText™ Static Application Security Testing User Guide.

Quick scans are a great way to get many applications through an assessment so that you can quickly find issues and begin remediation. The performance improvement you get depends on the complexity and size of the application. Although the scan is faster than a full scan, it does not provide as robust a result set. Other issues that a quick scan cannot detect might exist in your application. OpenText recommends that you run full scans whenever possible.
