### Projects

A **project** is the target for the scans. It can be any *unit of software* that can be analyzed independently, with any granularity. It could correspond with an application, module, service, microservice, container image, library, component…​

A project typically is under version control, and it consists of a set of source files, often grouped as a *repository* in a Source Code Management (SCM) System.
