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.

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.

Scans stopped due to connectivity issues

A scan may be stopped due to connection problems between AppScan and the server it is scanning, or between AppScan and the local web proxy server.

When a connection problem is detected, a 90 second countdown begins while AppScan® waits for the problem to be fixed. If the problem is fixed during the countdown, the Scan Notice Panel disappears and the scan resumes.

If there is a communication problem, the Notice panel shows the message:

Trying to connect to: <IP> Explore/Test stops in <n>

The IP address shown is the IP of the scanned server, the IP of the proxy (if the connection problem is with the web proxy), or a list of IPs, if the scan is connecting to multiple servers and more than one are down.
The number <n> is the 90 second countdown.
If the problem is not fixed by the time the countdown reaches zero, the scan stops.
After the problem is fixed, you can continue the scan where it left off (Scan > Continue) or redo the scan (Scan > Rescan).
