Getting started
Welcome to the documentation for HCL AppScan 360°, where you can find information about how to install, maintain, and use this service.
Installation
Learn how to install the AppScan Central Platform and AppScan 360° Static Analysis.
Administration
Define users, applications, policies, and configure DevOps integrations.
- Users
  User management allows you to control access to sensitive applications by assigning them to asset groups and then adding specific users to those groups.
- Applications
  An application is a collection of scans related to the same project. It can be a web site, a desktop app, a mobile app, a web service, or any component of an app. Applications enable you to asses risk, identify trends, and make sure that your project is compliant with industry and organization policies.
- Policies
  You can apply the predefined policies, as well as your own custom policies, to show only data for the issues that are relevant for you.
- DevOps
  Tools for incorporating AppScan 360° in your software development lifecycle.
  - REST API
    The built-in REST API interface provides you with a way to visualize RESTful web services. The API documentation is built using Swagger, where you can test API operations and instantly view the results to help you scan your applications faster.
  - Plugins and integrations
    - Adding security analysis to your Jenkins automation server
      The HCL AppScan Jenkins plug-in allows you to add security scan support to your Jenkins projects. The plug-in allows you to connect to HCL AppScan 360° on HCL AppScan 360°.
    - Installing and using the Azure DevOps Services plugin
      This task describes how to install and use the Azure DevOps Services plugin for running static or dynamic scans in your Azure DevOps Services and Team Foundation Server (TFS) pipelines. (Azure DevOps Services was previously known as Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS)).
- Personal scans
  A personal scan is a way of evaluating the relative security of an application in development without affecting overall application scan data (issues, for example), or compliance.
- Scan status
- Audit trail
  The audit trail (Organization > Audit trail) logs user activity.
