Running tests
You can use Snyk to test your code:
- Manually: using the Snyk CLI, the Snyk Web UI, and the Snyk API.
- Automatically: on a recurring basis, or when a relevant repo change is made.
Run tests manually
Run tests with the CLI
- Scan open-source code with
snyk test. - Scan container images with
snyk container test. - Scan Infrastructure as Code (IaC) files with
snyk iac test.
Run tests with the Snyk Web UI
A test is run when you add a new project, or click the re-test button.
Run tests with the API
Run tests automatically
Snyk provides automatic scanning functions with recurring tests, allowing you to catch new vulnerabilities automatically. After you import a project, Snyk automatically runs periodic checks to see if your code is affected by newly disclosed vulnerabilities.
Test frequency is set to daily by default. To change frequency, go to either the Usage page (see Usage page details) or the project Settings page (see View project settings).
Snyk monitor
Use the
snyk monitor CLI command to create a snapshot of a project on the Snyk website that will be continuously monitored for new vulnerabilities.Automatically testing PRs / MRs
By default, Snyk scans every pull request submitted on your monitored repositories, showing the results and recommendations grouped together in a single security check and a single license check.
