Having completed the steps of the wizard, you now decide
how and when to start the scan that you have configured.
About this task
If you select one of the options that starts a scan right
away, you can also elect to run Scan Expert before the main
scan starts. Scan Expert logs into your application and performs
a short, preliminary scan to evaluate the settings you have configured.
It then suggests configuration changes if necessary. Incorporating
these suggestions (automatically or manually) can greatly increase
the efficiency of the main scan.
Procedure
- Select one of the options:
- Start a full automatic scan: Start a full
scan of the application (Explore followed immediately by Test).
- Start with automatic Explore only: Explore
the application, but do not proceed to the Test stage. (You can run
the Test stage later.)
- Start with Manual Explore: The browser will
open and you can manually explore your site by clicking on links
and completing fields. AppScan will record the results to use in the Test stage.
- I will start the scan later: Close the wizard
without starting a scan. The next time you start a scan, this template
will be used.
- Start Scan Expert when Scan Configuration is Complete: (Active only if one of the first three scan options has been selected.)
Select this check box in you want Scan Expert to evaluate your configuration
before starting the main scan.
