# HCL AppScan

PlexTrac supports importing XML files from **HCL AppScan**. HCL AppScan is a security testing tool used to identify and address security vulnerabilities in web applications before deployment. It uses a combination of dynamic application security testing (DAST) and static application security testing (SAST) techniques to identify vulnerabilities.

{% hint style="info" %}
PlexTrac does not support the export format for older versions of HCL AppScan (export version <2.5).
{% endhint %}
