--Dependency-Track is an open-source Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tool that helps organizations manage and secure their software supply chain. It automatically generates and maintains a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for projects, continuously monitoring dependencies for known vulnerabilities. In addition, it tracks license compliance of open-source components, giving teams greater visibility and control. By integrating seamlessly into DevOps and CI/CD pipelines, Dependency-Track makes it easier to embed security throughout the development lifecycle.

  Inside DevOps-as-a-Service, deptrack is mainly used for writing specifications and documentations. See below for a list of the main features of XWiki.
--== Collaborative Content Editing ==
++== Auditing Basics ==
--* WYSIWYG and wiki syntax editors
--* Version control and history tracking
--* Inline and structured content editing
--* Commenting and annotations
++(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
++Dependency‑Track offers a robust auditing workflow: you can triage findings on individual projects, add comments, and record analysis decisions. The platform logs a complete audit trail for each action. Users with the VULNERABILITY_ANALYSIS permission can perform these audits, and audit histories are visible to anyone with the VIEW_VULNERABILITY permission.
--== Advanced Page & Document Management ==
++(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
++You can explore the [[Auditing Basics>>https://docs.dependencytrack.org/triage/auditing-basics/]] section in the Dependency‑Track documentation for deeper insights.
--* Hierarchical page structure (nested pages)
--* Templates for creating structured documents
--* Tags, categories, and metadata support
--* File attachments and preview
++== Impact Analysis ==
--== Powerful Search and Navigation ==
++(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
++Dependency‑Track enables organizations to assess how a vulnerability affects their environment. If a vulnerability is published in a supported datasource (e.g., NVD, GitHub Advisories, OSS Index, VulnDB), the platform dynamically identifies all affected projects. This allows you to answer: "What is affected?" and "Where am I affected?" at a glance.
--* Full-text search (Solr-based)
--* Faceted search filters
--* Page index, breadcrumbs, and navigation panels
++(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
++You can explore the [[Impact Analysis >>https://docs.dependencytrack.org/usage/impact-analysis/]]section in the Dependency‑Track documentation for deeper insights.
--== Macros and Widgets ==
++== Analysis States ==
--* Built-in and custom macros (charts, galleries, diagrams)
--* Embedding of rich media (videos, iframes, etc.)
--* Markdown and LaTeX support
++(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
++Dependency‑Track tracks the status of findings through their lifecycle via "analysis states". These help teams understand whether findings are new, under review, suppressed, or resolved. You can reference the Analysis States section in the documentation for full details on available statuses and workflows.
