# Overview

The Qwiet AI by Harness platform includes **NextGen Static Analysis**, a cross-platform static application security testing (SAST) solution that can also be integrated into your version control or CI/CD workflows to provide automated code analysis.

### Before you begin <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

Verify that you meet the [prerequisites](/sast-and-sca/getting-started/prerequisites.md) before you begin.

#### Scan your first application <a href="#scanning-your-first-application" id="scanning-your-first-application"></a>

After you verify that your workstation is ready, choose one of two options:

* [Integrate Qwiet AI by Harness](/sast-and-sca/getting-started/quickstart/workflows.md) into your developer or CI/CD workflow.
* [Set up and run Qwiet AI by Harness](/sast-and-sca/getting-started/quickstart/setup.md) locally to analyze an application on your workstation.

### Next steps <a href="#next-steps" id="next-steps"></a>

After you set up and scan your first application, you can:

1. View your results using the [Qwiet Dashboard](https://app.gitbook.com/s/lJyA24omPa8yzz8MNf2k/sast/dashboard/application-overview).
2. [Add users to your Qwiet account](broken://spaces/lJyA24omPa8yzz8MNf2k/pages/E4agynRvTn3I4S7q3gJh) to view scan results.
3. Customize Qwiet AI by Harness for your organization's applications:
   * [Create a configuration file](broken://spaces/lJyA24omPa8yzz8MNf2k/pages/kINJlpmA8EZO0Ghjtlf8) to customize Qwiet AI by Harness behavior.
   * [Configure build rules](broken://spaces/lJyA24omPa8yzz8MNf2k/pages/S8PQnxYOyIZVUjDZUzFp) to determine whether a scan fails the build.
   * Tune Qwiet AI by Harness underlying analysis engine by writing [policies](broken://spaces/lJyA24omPa8yzz8MNf2k/pages/kUkvSlpaG2EFIiLsKQap).

#### Extend Qwiet AI by Harness <a href="#leveling-up-with-qwiet-ai-by-harness" id="leveling-up-with-qwiet-ai-by-harness"></a>

1. [Use the API](broken://spaces/lJyA24omPa8yzz8MNf2k/pages/czxq1Lp10NxpqGdkmJef) to modify your organization or return scan results.
2. Use an integration or extension:
   * [Qwiet plugin for Jira](broken://spaces/lJyA24omPa8yzz8MNf2k/pages/2srkevG7cJxAfBDoJJPN).
