# Checkmarx

PlexTrac supports importing XML files from **Checkmarx**. Checkmarx provides software security solutions for detecting and preventing security application vulnerabilities. The primary focus is static application security testing (SAST), which involves analyzing an application's source code to identify security vulnerabilities and coding errors before deployment.

Below are the mappings of fields and any reference notes to provide context. If a field is not listed, PlexTrac does not currently import it.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.plextrac.com/plextrac-documentation/product-documentation-1/integrations-and-file-imports/checkmarx.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
