Define an assessment type

  • Enterprise only

Run a comprehensive application assessment when testing an application for the first time or for compliance purposes. After fixing vulnerabilities, you can run a retest assessment to verify that the issues are resolved.

As an Enterprise user, you can select the assessment type when creating a new assessment.

Choose an assessment type

  1. Start a new assessment in XBOW Console.
  2. On the “Assessment type” page, choose the type of test you want to run:
    • Select Comprehensive application assessment to test using all available attack types.
    • If you are retesting a target, select Retest previous vulnerabilities and select the vulnerabilities to retest from the list displayed.

Tip: The Test for specific vectors option, used to focus testing effort on specific classes of vulnerabilities, has moved to a new location. For more information, see Recent Console changes and Guiding XBOW testing for experts.
