Steps
Install the appropriate CycloneDX tool for your ecosystem (e.g., cyclonedx-gomod, cyclonedx-npm, cyclonedx-python)
Run the tool against your project root to produce a CycloneDX JSON or XML document
Verify each component entry contains a bom-ref, purl, and version field
Inspect the dependencies array to confirm parent-child relationships are encoded with dependsOn arrays
Validate the output against the CycloneDX schema using the official validator or a CI schema-check step
Attach the SBOM as a build artifact and record the document hash for later verification
Known gotchas
Transitive dependencies may be omitted if the tool only performs shallow analysis; confirm the tool resolves the full dependency graph before trusting the output
BOM-Ref values must be unique within the document; auto-generated refs sometimes collide when two components share the same purl
Some package managers require a prior install or lock-file step before the CycloneDX tool can enumerate all dependencies
