What are the key benefits of Xcalscan?
- Helps you write high quality source code
- Ensures you adhere to software compliance standards such as CERT
- Ensures you reduce the number of vulnerabilities in your source code
- Improves efficiency and enhances productivity when fully integrated into the software development process
What are Xcalscan’s key features?
Xcalscan is a new generation of static code analysis based on compiler technology. Xcalscan’s proprietary tools reduce false positives and our unique cross-language and cross-function capabilities can support static code scanning of multi-language interleaved projects in complex business scenarios.
Because Xcalscan finds problems earlier, you can reduce costs and improve efficiency. Xcalscan’s increased frequency of scanning makes problem solving up to 5 times less costly.
Xcalscan’s unique business rules engine allows you to customize source code development specifications, business compliance and risk detection criteria based on your own business requirements.
Xcalscan also offers:
- The ability to meet higher requirements for source code quality
- A UI graphical design, API interface and other implementation methods
- Clear display of custom rules on the scan results page
- Comprehensive support for China requirements
- In-depth analysis to improve productivity
- Higher reporting accuracy with fewer false positives
- Reduced scan times with a smaller system resource footprint
How do you deploy Xcalscan?
Xcalscan can be deployed on-premise using server-side and client-side applications. For server-side applications, Xcalscan uses Docker technology and each service exists as a docker service. For client-side applications, Xcalibyte will supply offline installation packages.
Do I need to upload source code directly to the Xcalscan server?
This is optional. If you need to review source code in detail through our web application, you would need to upload source code to the Xcalscan server. If you require basic results, without details based on the lines of code, it is not necessary to upload source code to the Xcalscan server.
What is the recommended hardware configuration?
Available space: 4GB for a basic installation
CPU: Quad-core or higher
Memory: 16GB or higher
Docker-CE version: 18.09 or higher
Web browser: Chrome (recommended), Safari, Firefox
What operating systems does Xcalscan support?
On the server-side, we support Linux: Ubuntu 14.04 and higher, Debian 8 and higher, CentOS 7.0 and higher, Redhat 6.0 and higher. On the client-side, we support the same Linux OS as well as Windows 7/10.
What programming languages dose Xcalscan support?
Currently Xcalscan can support C, C++ and Java.
Does Xcalscan use a Client/Server or Browser/Server architecture?
Xcalscan uses a client/server architecture model. Users need to install the Xcalscan client to complete the pre-processing work before sending code to the server for scanning. By collecting project settings, commands and third party libraries to correctly build the project through the client, we ensure the server completes all functions including code analysis, defect data identification and display. After this, you can use the web application to review the results in detail, analyze trace paths, assign remediation tasks and generate reports.
Is it important to ensure the project build is successful before running an Xcalscan analysis?
Xcalscan’s core scanning engine is based on advanced compiler technologies. The analysis is conducted between the high-level source program and the low-level target program to correctly examine all data flows independent of the programming language. Xcalscan cannot be run if the compiler information is missing.
Can I use Xcalscan in CI Automation flow?
Yes. Xcalscan can support common CI tools such as Jenkins. Additional tools will be added over time.
How do I use the Xcalscan client-side application?
The client-side application can be used through the Command Line Interface (CLI) or through an application with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The installation file needs to be downloaded and then installed in your Windows or Linux environment.
Can I download a scan result report from Xcalscan?
Yes, Xcalscan lets you download a report in either CSV or PDF format.
How accurate is Xcalscan?
We have conducted statistical analysis on Xcalscan’s results using the NIST Juliet test suite for source code analyzer. The results show the scanning accuracy of Xcalscan is significantly better than many similar products.
