Getting started
This section provides a short tour of basic product features and procedures, including using the wizard to set up a scan.
Configuration
You configure a scan by choosing settings that best describe your application, and the kind of testing you want.
Manual exploring
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.
Scanning
Learn how to start a scan, and what happens during the scan; how to manually manipulate the Explore stage, and how to export the results of a scan.
Data
Data view is populated with information about the structure of the site during the Explore stage of the scan.
Issues
Issues view provides access to the results of a scan. You can view results at a high level or select specific tests or objects and access more details. These details include how to fix, requests/responses, and differences between the test variants that resulted in issues. You can manipulate the severity of issues, resend tests (with or without modifications), and create reports based on Issues.

Requests

This view lists requests for which AppScan® received a valid response. Based on these responses, AppScan® generates tests, to reveal weaknesses in the site, that will be sent during the Test stage.

If the request or the response body contains XML (including XHTML or SOAP), the Visited URLs icon is replaced with the XML icon:

Requests in the Result List

The Result List shows the URL of each page that AppScan visited, as well as method and parameters.

You can view a visited URL by right-clicking on a request and clicking Show in Browser, or selecting the URL and clicking the Show in Browser link in the Detail Pane.
You can create a manual test for the URL by right-clicking the Visited URL item and clicking Manual Test, or selecting the URL and clicking the Manual Test link in the Detail Pane. (See Manual tests to learn more.)

Requests in the Detail Pane

The Detail Pane includes links to Show in Browser and Manual Test, which operate in the same manner as the right-click commands in the Result List.

The Request/Response tab is displayed and shows the request and immediate response of the URL selected in the Result List.
