Integrating static analysis into the developer workflow is a practical approach to implementing security principles such as DevSecOps and shifting security left, as discussed in Maya's post. Static analysis security testing (SAST) analyzes code for vulnerabilities, traditionally occurring late in the development cycle, but shifting it to the main developer workflow allows security issues to be identified and resolved during everyday code reviews. However, challenges such as tool speed, precision, and integration into pull request workflows can hinder adoption, requiring careful monitoring and configuration to avoid slowing down CI processes and causing high false positive rates. GitHub code scanning, powered by the fast and precise CodeQL engine, exemplifies this integration by providing in-line pull request feedback and configurable queries, while storing configuration as code within GitHub Actions workflow files to maintain visibility and version control.
