Configuring
You configure a scan by choosing settings that best describe your application, and the kind of testing you want.
You can choose between two methods of configuring regular scans:
- Scan Configuration Wizards is
useful if:
- You are new to AppScan®, or
- Most of the settings you require are standard, or
- You do not need to change settings between scans, and have already saved a scan template with your own specifications
- Scan Configuration Dialog Box
is useful if:
- You need to customize many settings for a scan, or
- You want to create and save a custom scan template
You can base your scan on the Regular Scan template, or you can load a previously saved template of your own. (A "scan template" is simply a set of scan configuration settings that have been saved.) Saving and loading your own scan templates is the most efficient method when you regularly use the same settings for your scans.
Note: After you have configured the scan, but before you start it,
you can utilize Scan Expert to evaluate the configuration
for your particular application, and suggest changes to optimize it.
