Remember to add the name of the feature branch you want to scan. Make sure the branch exists in the repository before running the scan. If it does not exist, the **scan will fail**. 

10. You have now launched a scan. The scan details will be available as soon as the scan has finished successfully.

The scan now appears in the **Scan** section with the state *RUNNING*. 

The scan status will change from *RUNNING* to *SUCCESS* or *FAIL*, depending on the result.
