Accuracy
Our SAST tool achieved the best possible result against the OWASP Benchmark: a TPR (True Positive Rate) of 100% and an FPR (False Positive Rate) of 0%.
We identify 90% of the evaluated systems' risk exposure. (Accuracy is calculated with the F1 score. Risk exposure is calculated with the formula CVSSF=4^(CVSS-4)).
They report a false positive rate of less than 5%; however, there are reviews indicating many false positives.
