Welcome
Welcome to the documentation for HCL AppScan Standard version 10.4.0
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.
Reports
This section describes how to generate reports from the scan results.

Manually exploring interactive URLs

About this task

Interactive URLs are requests that were not sent because they require input from the user that AppScan could not supply. If you missed some of your application parameters, or if you chose not to use the automatic form filler, AppScan will have a list of interactive URLs at the end of a scan.

Procedure

In Data view > Result List, click User Interaction Needed.

The list of URLs with interactive input is displayed.
Note: A single URL may appear more than once, each instance being from a different form.
Right-click a URL in the list and click Manually Explore this URL.
The browser, with the Manual Explore buttons, appears, open to this URL. Complete the manual explore; see Recording with a browser.
After you finish the manual explore, AppScan analyzes the new Explore.
If new URLs were found, a message appears, recommending that you continue the Explore (Scan > Continue Scan > Explore).
- If no new URLs were found but new tests were created, a message appears, recommending that you go on to the Test stage ( Scan > Continue Scan > Test).
- If both new URLs were found and new tests were created, a message appears, recommending that you continue both the Explore and the Test (Scan > Continue Scan > Full Test).
