The command "snyk test" is used to analyze your project's code and dependencies for known vulnerabilities.
"Snyk" is a popular open-source security platform that helps developers find and fix vulnerabilities in their dependencies and container images. It supports a wide range of languages and package managers.
When you run the "snyk test" command, it scans your project, including all its dependencies, and checks them against Snyk's vulnerability database. It identifies any vulnerable versions of packages, provides detailed information about the vulnerabilities, and suggests ways to fix them.
By using "snyk test" regularly during development or as part of continuous integration workflows, you can proactively identify security issues and take appropriate actions, such as updating dependencies or using alternative packages. This helps ensure the security of your project and reduces the risk of potential exploits or attacks.
