Why should you dismiss a code scanning alert?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

You shoulddismissa code scanning alert if the flagged code isnot a true security concern, such as:
* Code in test files
* Code paths that are unreachable or safe by design
* False positives from the scanner
Fixing the code would automaticallyresolvethe alert - not dismiss it. Dismissing is for valid exceptions or noise reduction.
