Guided Scan Overview
Guided Scan directs you through the best steps for configuring a scan tailored to your application.
The Guided Scan progress display in the left pane allows you to easily see your progress as you specify settings for your scan. The right pane displays the scan options on each wizard page.
The Guided Scan Wizard allows you to:
-
Verify connectivity to your application
-
Test the entire application or only workflows
-
Record your login procedure
-
Review suggested configuration changes
Guided Scans are template based; you can select to use either a Predefined Template or a Mobile Template.
Predefined Templates
There are three predefined templates options to choose from:
-
Standard Scan: use this option to when you are interested in coverage. Larger sites could take days when using this template.
-
Quick Scan: use this option when focusing on breadth and performance rather than digging deep. Especially good for very large sites.
-
Thorough Scan: use to perform an exhaustive crawl on your site. It is recommended that you split your site into parts and only scan smaller chunks of your site with these settings. Not recommended for large sites.
Mobile Templates
There are two mobile template options to choose from:
-
Mobile Scan: use this option to scan a mobile site from the machine where your instance of Fortify WebInspect or Fortify WebInspect Enterprise is installed. Fortify WebInspect or Fortify WebInspect Enterprise will fetch the mobile version of the site rather than the full site when this option is chosen.
-
Native Scan: use this option to manually crawl a native mobile application and capture the Web traffic as a workflow macro. Generate the traffic on an Android, Windows, or iOS device or software emulator (Android and iOS only) running a mobile application.
After selecting a Guided Scan template, the stages and steps are displayed in the left pane, allowing you to easily navigate among them and specify the settings for your scan.
