  ounceauto generatereport -assessment C:\Ounce\Data\Webgoat.ozasmt
  -type "Findings by API" -output html
  -file C:\reports\Webgoat_Findings.html
  -includeTraceDefinitive

• To generate an OWASP Top 10 2013 AppScan Source report as a PDF:

  ounceauto generatereport -assessment C:\Ounce\Data\Webgoat.ozasmt
  -type "OWASP Top 10 2013" -output pdf-annotated
  -file C:\Reports\Webgoat_OWASP.pdf
