## About {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} query suites
|
|
|
|
With {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %}, you can select a specific group of {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} queries, called a {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} query suite, to run against your code. The following built-in query suites are available through {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}:
|
|
|
|
- the `default` query suite.
|
|
- the `security-extended` query suite.
|
|
|
|
Currently, both the `default` query suite and the `security-extended` query suite are available for the default setup for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %}. For more information on the default setup, see "[AUTOTITLE](/code-security/code-scanning/automatically-scanning-your-code-for-vulnerabilities-and-errors/configuring-code-scanning-for-a-repository#configuring-code-scanning-automatically)."
|
|
|
|
To use a custom query suite, you must create an advanced setup for {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %}. For more information on advanced setups and creating a query suite, see "[AUTOTITLE](/code-security/code-scanning/automatically-scanning-your-code-for-vulnerabilities-and-errors/configuring-code-scanning-for-a-repository#creating-an-advanced-setup)" and "[AUTOTITLE](/code-security/codeql-cli/using-the-codeql-cli/creating-codeql-query-suites)."

## Built-in {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} query suites
|
|
|
|
The built-in {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} query suites, `default` and `security-extended`, are created and maintained by {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. Both of these query suites are available for every {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %}-supported language. For more information on {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %}-supported languages, see "[AUTOTITLE](/code-security/code-scanning/automatically-scanning-your-code-for-vulnerabilities-and-errors/about-code-scanning-with-codeql#about-codeql)."

|
|
|
- The `default` query suite is the group of queries run by default in {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.
|
|
- The queries in the `default` query suite are highly precise and return few false positive {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} results. Relative to the `security-extended` query suite, the `default` suite returns fewer low-confidence {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} results.
|
|
- This query suite is available for use with the default setup for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %}.
|
|
|
|
### `security-extended` query suite
|
|
|
|
- The `security-extended` query suite consists of all the queries in the `default` query suite, plus additional queries with slightly lower precision and severity.
|
|
- Relative to the `default` query suite, the `security-extended` suite may return a greater number of false positive {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} results.
|
|
- This query suite is available for use with the default setup for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %}.
