Starting scans from the Scan menu or the toolbar

About this task

When AppScan® is open, you can start a scan with the current configuration from the Scan menu or the toolbar.

Procedure

On the Scan menu, or from the

button on the toolbar, select:

If the configuration does *not* include any Manual or Automatic Explore data:
Icon	Option	Description
	Full Scan	Run a full scan. Explore the application until there are no more unvisited URLs, and then continue automatically with the Test stage. (If multiphase scanning is configured, complete multiple phases as necessary.)
	Explore Only	Explore the site but do not test it. This lets you examine the Explore results, and if necessary explore the site manually, before proceeding to the Test Stage.
	Test Only	(This option is disabled when there is no Explore data to test.)

If the configuration includes any Manual or Automatic Explore data:
Icon	Option	Description
	Continue Full Scan	Explore and Test the site using this configuration, including the existing Automatic and Manual Explore data.
	Continue Explore Only	Explore the site automatically, and add the data to the existing Automatic and Manual Explore data. This lets you examine the Explore results, and if necessary explore the site manually, before proceeding to the Test Stage.
	Continue Test Only	Test the site using the existing Automatic and Manual Explore data only.

Note: If you have configured one or more Multi-Step Operations, and they constitute a significant subset of your site that you want to scan, you can run a scan on those sequences only (see Scan Multi-Step Operations Only).
