Main Description

If you are using IBM® Rational® AppScan® Standard Edition, you can benefit from its capabilities to generate reports automatically. AppScan generates different types of reports suitable for different types of stakeholders.

  • Security: Report of security issues found during the scan. Security information may be very extensive, and can be filtered depending on your requirements. Six standard templates are included, but each can easily be tailored to include or exclude categories of information, as necessary.
  • Industry Standard: Report of the compliance (or non-compliance) of your application with a selected industry committee, or your own custom standards checklist.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Report of the compliance (or non-compliance) of your application with a large choice of regulations or legal standards, or with your own custom Regulatory Compliance template.
  • Delta Analysis: The Delta Analysis report compares two sets of scan results, and shows the difference in URLs or security issues discovered.
  • Template Based: Custom report containing user-defined data and user-defined document formatting, in Microsoft® Word .doc format.

If you are using IBM Rational AppScan Enterprise Edition or AppScan Reporting Console, you can also benefit from their ability to generate security dashboards, and to present security report data via a Web interface.
