Sample scans

The sample scans can help give you a feel for using AppScan and what scan results look like.

Four sample scans are saved to your machine when AppScan is installed. You can open them to see how they are configured, and how the results are displayed in AppScan. They can be found in your main AppScan Standard folder, whose default location is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\HCL\AppScan Standard

The scans are:

demo.testfire.net.scan: This is a scan of the AppScan demonstration test site. You can review the configuration and results. You can also send additional requests to the site and continue the scan with the new data.
demo.testfire.net_OpenAPI.scan: This is an Open API web services scan of the AppScan demonstration test site. You can review the configuration and results. You can also send additional requests to the site and continue the scan with the new data.
