Cancelling or stopping a scan

Although you can cancel a scan in progress, canceling a scan causes a loss of all data for that scan. Alternatively, you can stop a scan to halt it and produce an assessment with results that are found so far.

Cancelling or stopping a scan in AppScan® Source for Analysis

To cancel a scan that is currently in progress, select Scan > Cancel Scan or Scan > Stop Scan from the main menu.

Cancel Scan terminates the scan and does not produce any results. Stop Scan halts the scan and produces an assessment with results found so far.

Cancelling or stopping a scan in AppScan Source for Development (Eclipse plug-in)
