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

Starting scans from the Scan menu or context 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, select:

If the configuration does *not* include any Manual or Automatic Explore data:
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:
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.
