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 a Manual Explore.

    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).
