Explanation

An application scan is typically performed to identify vulnerabilities in the code, such as security flaws, bugs, and weaknesses that could be exploited. Since the change management procedure requires checking for vulnerabilities prior to release, this scan will help ensure the code is secure before it is deployed to production. This type of scan looks for issues such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other common application vulnerabilities.
