The Scan Engine is a ServiceNow application designed to automate recommended practice enforcement, manage technical debt, and optimize workflows across ServiceNow environments. It enables administrators and developers to proactively identify, remediate, and track issues through real‑time, on‑demand, and scheduled scans, ensuring continuous improvement in platform health and compliance. Integrated directly into the development lifecycle, it provides real‑time checks within App Engine Studio and script editors to prevent non‑compliant changes before they reach production, while offering intelligent fix suggestions to accelerate resolution.
