Performing a pre-scan check - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's Burp Suite DAST runs a pre-scan check when a new web app site is added, and it can be run on existing sites at any time. The check runs the URL connection check, attempts any recorded login sequences, and captures still images from those logins for review.
Bottom line: The pre-scan surfaces connection status per target URL, with remedial advice and the raw request and response behind a failure - so a broken target or a login sequence that no longer works is caught before the scan runs, not after.
