Use case

Auto-fix vulnerabilities with an AI pull request

Not just find vulnerabilities — fix them automaticallyOn the Scan + Fix tier, GateTest doesn't stop at finding issues — the fix engine writes the fix, validates it through a syntax and re-scan gate, generates a regression test, and opens a pull request you review and merge.

The problem

Finding a vulnerability is half the job. The finding still has to be triaged, understood, fixed, tested, and shipped — and that backlog is where most scanner output goes to die. A list of 200 findings nobody has time to action protects nothing.

Closing the loop means turning the finding into a reviewable fix automatically, so the human cost is a code review rather than an investigation.

How GateTest does it

GateTest's iterative fix loop sends each finding to the AI fix engine with full project context, applies the fix, then re-scans that specific finding in isolation. If it didn't resolve, it retries with the failure context, up to a configurable limit.

Every fix passes a syntax gate and a cross-file scanner re-validation so a fix can't introduce a new problem, and a regression test is generated demonstrating the original bug. The result is a single pull request with the fixes, the tests, and a before/after scan comparison.

Steps

1Run a scan on the Scan + Fix ($199) or Forensic ($399) tier.
2GateTest clusters findings by file and fixes the highest-impact root causes first.
3Each fix is validated and gets a regression test.
4Review the resulting pull request and merge — the fix is as fast as the finding.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI fix get merged automatically?

No. GateTest opens a pull request that a human reviews and merges. The fix is validated through a syntax and re-scan gate and ships with a regression test, but a person stays in the loop — your code is never changed without review.

How does GateTest avoid the fix breaking something else?

Each fix passes a syntax-validation gate and a cross-file scanner re-validation that builds a synthetic post-fix workspace and re-runs the scan. If a fix introduces a new finding, it's rolled back rather than shipped.
