Manage your application security stack effectively with the tool status page

GitHub has introduced a tool status page for its code scanning feature, aimed at simplifying the management of application security tools within the GitHub workflow. This feature provides developers with detailed information about the security tools, such as the native CodeQL engine and other integrated code analysis tools, by indicating their status as either working, needing attention, or not working. Accessible via a "tool status" button on the code scanning page, the tool status page helps developers quickly identify and troubleshoot issues with their code analysis configurations, enhancing the efficiency of maintaining application security. The new tool status feature is part of GitHub's ongoing commitment to improving software security without compromising the developer experience, and further information on application security orchestration can be found in a related blog post.
