Manual exploring
This section deals with ways in which you can manually explore your application or services before starting the Test stage of the scan, or before starting an automatic scan (that includes both automatic Explore and Test stages).
Using AppScan
Manual exploring enables you to explore specific parts of your application, filling in fields and forms as you go. This can be a way of ensuring that particular areas of the site are covered, and that AppScan has the information needed to complete forms correctly.
Recording a Manual Explore

Recording a Manual Explore

Procedure

Click Scan > Manual Explore > Using browser

The AppScan embedded browser opens, with the Record button selected (grayed out).

Note: The default browser is used. You can set the default browser to be either of the two built-in browsers (IE or Chromium), or a supported external browser, in Tools > Options > Preferences tab
Browse the site manually, completing data and clicking on links as you go.
When you have finished exploring, click Pause or simply close the browser.

Note: You can create a Manual Explore recording that includes two or more unrelated parts of the application: Click Pause, browse to a different location, and then click Record to resume recording.

The Explored URLs dialog box appears, displaying the URLs that you visited during your login.
Tip: You can delete any unwanted steps (links) in the sequence by selecting the link and clicking .
