 Using the browser-based crawler should provide greater coverage for most web applications, compared with the current DAST AJAX crawler. The new crawler replaces the AJAX crawler and is specifically designed to maximize crawl coverage in modern web applications. While both crawlers are currently used in conjunction with the existing DAST scanner, the combination of the browser-based crawler with the current DAST scanner is much more effective at finding and testing every page in an application.
