Rapid Scan SCA

Code Sight Documentation

Version
2026.5.0

Rapid Scan SCA performs software composition analysis (SCA). It is the SCA engine that is installed when you set up the Code Sight Standard Edition (CSSE).

Like Black Duck, Rapid Scan SCA is driven by the Black Duck® Detect component. However, Rapid Scan SCA always runs standalone, and does not connect to a Black Duck server. This enables Rapid Scan SCA to take less time than a Black Duck scan might require; on the other hand, Rapid Scan SCA might not detect all the issues that a full Black Duck scan is likely to detect, and the details it reports about those issues might not be as complete.

If you have been using the Code Sight Standard Edition with Rapid Scan SCA and then install Black Duck, from that point Black Duck supplants Rapid Scan Static: It always runs while connected to the specified Black Duck server, and all the Open Source Analysis issues that Code Sight displays for a new scan are reported to be “Black Duck (SCA)” issues.
