# Introduction

> This documentation provides practical guidance for evaluating SCANOSS capabilities through proof-of-concept implementations. It covers hands-on testing scenarios across the SCANOSS core datasets: license compliance, cryptography detection and security vulnerabilities.

## What's Covered

**License Dataset** - Test snippet detection, SBOM creation, component declaration workflows and license compliance using tools like SCANOSS-PY, pre-commit hooks and CI/CD integrations.

**Cryptography Dataset** - Evaluate cryptographic algorithm detection capabilities through the SCANOSS API and command-line tools.

**Security Dataset** - Explore vulnerability scanning and management using SCANOSS API, SBOM Workbench and Dependency Track integration.

**Process & Integrations** - Learn how to integrate SCANOSS into your development workflow through GitHub Actions and establish policy management with Dependency Track.

Each section includes step-by-step instructions, configuration examples and practical use cases to help you evaluate how SCANOSS fits your organisation's needs.

## Reference Architecture

Use the following diagram as a quick visual reference for how SCANOSS clients interact with the load balancer, scanning clusters and intelligence decoration services during proof-of-concept evaluations.
