馃帹 Design: Authenticate before running full DAST scan
Actionable Insights
Actionable insights always have a follow-up action that needs to take place as a result of the research observation or data, and a clear recommendation or action associated with it. An actionable insight both defines the insight and clearly calls out the next step. These insights are tracked over time.

| Details: | A few users expressed that with other products they have used in the past, they were able to tell if they were successfully authenticated before the scan actually ran. This prevents the scenario where a scan will run for a 2 hours, and once it鈥檚 finished the user will go and check the results, only to discover that the authentication failed immediately. |
| Action to take: | Provide a way to attempt to authenticate before the scan actually runs. If authentication fails, the scan should stop immediately with some sort of error message to the user. |
