Manually exploring interactive URLs

About this task

Interactive URLs are requests that were not sent because they require input from the user that AppScan could not supply. If you missed some of your application parameters, or if you chose not to use the automatic form filler, AppScan will have a list of interactive URLs at the end of a scan.

Procedure

  1. In Data view > Result List, click User Interaction Needed.
    The list of URLs with interactive input is displayed.
    Note: A single URL may appear more than once, each instance being from a different form.
  2. Right-click a URL in the list and click Manually Explore this URL.

    The browser, with the Manual Explore buttons, appears, open to this URL. Complete the manual explore; see Recording with a browser.

    After you finish the manual explore, AppScan analyzes the new Explore.

    If new URLs were found, a message appears, recommending that you continue the Explore (Scan > Continue Scan > Explore).

    • If no new URLs were found but new tests were created, a message appears, recommending that you go on to the Test stage ( Scan > Continue Scan > Test).
    • If both new URLs were found and new tests were created, a message appears, recommending that you continue both the Explore and the Test (Scan > Continue Scan > Full Test).
