You can define a multi-step operation and use it to test
just that part of the site.
About this task
A multi-step operation is a sequence of requests that
must be sent in a particular order to reach certain parts of the application.
(For more details, see Multi-Step Operations view.)
In some cases these operations may be the only part of the application
you want to scan.
Procedure
- Configure the scan, including at least one multi-step operation.
(See Multi-Step Operations view.)
- (Recommended:) Run Scan Expert to evaluate the configuration.
(See Scan Expert.)
- On the Scan menu, click Scan Multi-Step Operations Only.
AppScan® scans
the configured operations, and displays the results.
Note: Note
that only tests directly related to the sequence are sent. (Site
infrastructure tests, for example, are not sent.) This means that
when the scan is over, the Status Bar (bottom left) may indicate
that there are more tests to be sent. If you are using the Scan Multi-Step
Operations function as a way of running a full scan on part of
the site, you should continue with Test Only (next step), to send
these tests.
- (Optional:) Click Scan > Test Only to complete
a full scan of the part of the site being tested.
Infrastructure
and other remaining tests are sent to the site, and the results are
added to the scan results.
