help HCL AppScan FAQ

How does HCL AppScan perform a DAST scan?

Dynamic Application Security Testing examines a running web application or API from the outside, using browser-like requests rather than reading the source code. AppScan's cloud workflow separates the scan into Explore and Test stages. [HCL AppScan documentation](https://s3.amazonaws.com/help.hcltechsw.com/appscan/ASoC/appseccloud_scanning_web.html)

Can HCL AppScan scan APIs built with OpenAPI or Postman?

Yes. AppScan supports API testing from formats such as OpenAPI or Swagger descriptions, Postman collections, and recorded traffic, with HCL also documenting GraphQL support for its broader platform. [HCLTech](https://www.hcltech.com/appscan)

What is the difference between AppScan Standard and AppScan Enterprise?

AppScan Standard is a desktop black-box DAST tool for testing web applications and APIs. AppScan Enterprise is designed for larger, multi-user and multi-application dynamic testing, while AppScan on Cloud provides a cloud-based application security service.
