Scan configurations

Scan configurations are used when launching scans and can often lead to better scan results. AppScan® Source includes built-in scan configurations, which can be accessed in server mode or local mode. In addition, custom scan configurations can be created in AppScan Source for Analysis and shared to the AppScan Enterprise Server - and accessed from AppScan Source for Development in server mode.
