Welcome
Welcome to the documentation for HCL AppScan Standard version 10.6.0
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.
Tools
This section explains how to use additional tools provided with HCL AppScan Standard.
Integrations
This section describes integrations of other applications with AppScan Standard:
- AppScan on Cloud
  This section describes ways AppScan Standard can interact with HCL AppScan on Cloud, to scan apps on the cloud.
  - Creating a scan in AppScan on Cloud
    You can upload an AppScan Standard scan or template file (SCAN or SCANT) to AppScan on Cloud (ASoC) to run a new scan on the cloud.
  - Uploading scan results to AppScan on Cloud
    You can upload AppScan Standard scan results to AppScan on Cloud (ASoC), add them to an application, and view the results there. The results will be aggregated with the rest of the application results, in ASoC. However, you cannot run the scan in ASoC.
- AppScan 360°
  This section describes ways AppScan Standard can interact with HCL AppScan 360°.
- AppScan Enterprise
  This section describes ways AppScan Standard and Enterprise editions can interact.
- Automation Frameworks
  You can use scripts written for your QA automation framework (such as Selenium) to create Manual Explore recordings for an AppScan scan.

Creating a scan in AppScan on Cloud

You can upload an AppScan Standard scan or template file (SCAN or SCANT) to AppScan on Cloud (ASoC) to run a new scan on the cloud.

Procedure

Open the scan or template you want to upload.
Click AppScan Connect > AppScan on Cloud, and connect to AppScan on Cloud with your Key ID and Key Secret.
Click AppScan Connect > Create scan in AppScan on Cloud
Scan Settings section:
1. Optionally rename the scan.
2. From the Application name drop-down, select one of the existing applications in ASoC.
3. Allow intervention: When this checkbox is selected, our Scan Enablement Team will step in if the scan fails, or if no issues are found, and try to fix the configuration to get results. This may delay scan completion.
4. You can elect to be notified by email when the scan is complete.
My application is not accessible from the Internet: Only if your application is not available on the Internet, select this checkbox and then select your AppScan Presence from the list.
Scan method section: Select one of the two radio buttons:

Test Only

Test the parts of the site that were already explored in AppScan Standard. Use this option if you want to test only the Multi-Step Operations or Manual Explore that you recorded in AppScan Standard. A Test stage is run on the existing Explore data in the file you upload.

Full Scan

Continue the Explore stage (adds data to any existing Explore data saved in the file), and then runs a Test stage. Note that if the uploaded file contains any Explore data that data is used and added to.
Click Create
The scan is created in AppScan on Cloud and will run as soon as the queue allows.
