Where this offering fits
Checkmarx Codebashing is an application-security learning offering documented in the current Checkmarx product resources. Evaluate it for developer capability: recognising relevant weaknesses and applying suitable fixes in the languages and frameworks the team uses. Confirm the current content, administration and licensing package before purchase, and distinguish learning progress from evidence that a released application has been tested.
Architecture and rollout decisions
Select learner roles and recurring issue categories with development leads. Review sample lessons or labs for relevance, prerequisites and practical outcomes. Keep sensitive production code outside a demonstration unless expressly authorised. Agree how learning progress connects to secure-development practice without treating attendance as proof that released software has been tested.
An evaluation scenario for this offering
Choose a small developer cohort and one recurring weakness relevant to its supported language or framework. Before assigning the selected Codebashing content, give participants an approved synthetic example and ask them to explain the likely risk and a suitable correction. After the learning exercise, use a different example of the same concept and have a technical lead review the reasoning. Include a participant who lacks a prerequisite so the programme can adapt rather than simply count an incomplete lesson. Acceptance should connect learning with demonstrated understanding and a follow-up practice plan, without presenting the exercise as certification or production application testing.
