  • Welcome

    Welcome to the documentation for HCL AppScan Standard version 10.11.0

  • 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.

  • Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA)

    Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to analyze data, discover patterns, and make predictions, ultimately transforming data into actionable insights. IFA goes beyond regular data analysis by using advanced methods to find deeper meanings and make smart decisions.

  • 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.

    • Pausing and continuing scans
    • Saving and loading scans
    • Automatic scans
    • Partial scans
    • Incremental scans
    • Adding unexplored domains

      Add domains that AppScan discovers but does not explore to your scan scope so they can be crawled and tested. Review the list of unexplored domains and include the ones you want in the configuration to ensure they are covered in subsequent scans.

    • Exporting scan results
  • 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.
