Resolving issues without breaking the build

Resolving issues without breaking the build is an important aspect of integrating SAST into the development process. We need to make sure that when we help developers identify any critical issue in the build with the DevSecOps process, the build is not failing and we can still fix the issues within the stipulated timeline. To accomplish this, developers need to understand the nature of the vulnerability and its impact on the application. They also need to have access to tools and resources that can help them resolve the issue, such as code snippets or guidance on best practices.

One approach to resolving issues without breaking the build is to use an iterative development process. In this approach, developers identify and remediate vulnerabilities in small batches, testing each change to ensure that it does not introduce new vulnerabilities or break the build.

Another approach is to use code branching and version control to isolate...
