Description

Summary

The SCA tools section still lists "WhiteSource" with a link to whitesourcesoftware.com. WhiteSource rebranded to Mend in May 2022, and the old domain now redirects to mend.io.

Affected Files

Current version (primary)
  • current-version/2-Process/2-3-Build/2-3-2-Software Composition Analysis/2-3-2-1-Software-Composition-Analysis.md

Current line:

- [WhiteSource](https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/) - WhiteSource identifies every open source component in your software, including dependencies. It then secures you from vulnerabilities and enforces license policies throughout the software development lifecycle.

Suggested update:

- [Mend](https://www.mend.io/) - Mend (formerly WhiteSource) identifies every open source component in your software, including dependencies. It then secures you from vulnerabilities and enforces license policies throughout the software development lifecycle.
Old versions (for consistency)
  • old-versions/V0.1/02d-Software-Composition-Analysis.md
  • old-versions/V0.2/3-Commit-CI/3-1-Static-analysis/3-1-2-Software-Composition-Analysis.md

Research direction

Start with the SCA entry in current-version/2-Process/2-3-Build/2-3-2-Software Composition Analysis/2-3-2-1-Software-Composition-Analysis.md, then inspect the two corresponding files under old-versions/V0.1 and V0.2. Confirm each WhiteSource reference and link, and consider the work done when all three versions consistently identify Mend and point to mend.io.
