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.

Dealing with interactive URLs

How to include in the scan URLs that require user interaction.

About this task

If the scan is stopped because it could not automatically fill in all the input forms, you can complete the Explore manually.

Procedure

Select Application Data view.
Select the User Interaction Needed display.
Create a Manual Explore of these URLs (see Manually exploring interactive URLs) and insert the form-filler values.
Continue the scan, preferably including another automatic Explore stage.
