Click to: |
---|---|
Full Scan |
Start a full scan (Explore and Test stages) or continue a paused scan. |
Pause |
Pause current scan (whether Full Scan, Explore Only or Test Only). You can resume the scan later. You can also save a paused scan to continue at another time. |
Re-Scan > |
Rerun the current scan or scan stage. Select one of the sub-menu items:
|
Explore Only |
Run an Explore stage only, without following it with the Test stage. |
Manual Explore |
Explore your site manually. Options are:
For details, see Manual exploring. |
Test Only |
Run a Test stage only (or continue a Test that was paused), without first running an Explore stage. This option is active only when there are already some Explore results. |
Re-Test Issues Found |
This option sends only the tests that revealed issues. This is a quick way of seeing whether issues found in the last scan have been fixed. |
Clear All Scan Data |
Delete all Explore and Test results, keeping only the Scan Configuration. |
Change Host/Scheme/Port |
If you have already recorded a login, multi-step operations, and/or a Manual Explore - and then the host, scheme or port of your Starting URL changes - requests and responses in these recordings must be updated and verified. Click Scan > Change Host/Scheme/Port to open a dialog box from which you can change the URL, and get AppScan to automatically update, verify and confirm the necessary changes. The dialog box shows the steps being performed, and indicates when each step is
successful. If the update process does not complete successfully, the dialog box indicates which
step failed, and gives you the option to save the changes and proceed manually, or undo all
changes.
Important: In some cases AppScan may update responses incorrectly, and part or
all of the scan will fail. If that happens you will need to re-record the problematic
procedures. Note: Although Manual Explore data is updated, Automatic Explore
data, and scan results, are deleted when you change the Starting URL. Note: This option can
be used to change only the host, scheme, or port of only the Starting URL. If you need
to make other changes to the Starting URL, or change the host, scheme or port for one of the
Additional Domains in the scan, you cannot use this option. Instead, save the scan as a
template, and use that to create a new scan. |
