For consistency, how should scanning jobs be named in GitLab?

Naming scanning jobs in GitLab consistently is important for maintaining clarity and organization within a project. When scanning jobs are named after the scanner and in lower case, it provides immediate context about what the job is designed to do. For instance, if you have specific scanning tools like snyk, bandit, or eslint, naming the jobs in lower case such as snyk_scan, bandit_scan, or eslint_analysis makes it easy for team members to identify the purpose of each job quickly.

This naming convention promotes readability and reduces confusion in larger projects where multiple scanning jobs may be present. By providing clear, descriptive names, anyone reviewing the pipeline can easily see what each job does, enhancing collaboration and reducing cognitive load. In contrast, using all capital letters, random identifiers, or numerical sequences could make it difficult for developers to understand the job's function without referring back to documentation or job details.
