Manual exploring
This section deals with ways in which you can manually explore your application or services before starting the Test stage of the scan, or before starting an automatic scan (that includes both automatic Explore and Test stages).
Using AppScan as recording proxy
You can use AppScan's External Traffic Recorder as a recording proxy, and manually explore RESTful or other non-SOAP web services - or SOAP services that do not require security envelopes - using a mobile phone, simulator, or emulator. AppScan displays the domains and requests in its External Traffic Recorder, and create appropriate tests from the input.

Using AppScan as recording proxy

You can use AppScan's External Traffic Recorder as a recording proxy, and manually explore RESTful or other non-SOAP web services - or SOAP services that do not require security envelopes - using a mobile phone, simulator, or emulator. AppScan displays the domains and requests in its External Traffic Recorder, and create appropriate tests from the input.

Note: For web services that have a WSDL file, and utilize SOAP security envelopes, you should use GSC to explore the service instead (for details see Using GSC).

Note: If your application uses man-in-the-middle protection, it is not possible to scan it with AppScan as proxy.
