PHP Compatibility Checker – needs scan controls

  • A lot time can be seriously wasted by scans that fail.
    Sometimes a scan does not complete by the time something far more urgent needs to be done on the website.
    The scan insists on continuing.
    If the scan button gets pressed again, then it queues another scan for immediately afterwards – no pause to download the results (and abort the next scan).
    If the browser crashes, or the network disconnects, then a reconnection with the site, disconnects with the scan which makes the results (if they are ever produced) unretrievable.

    What is needed is a bit more user control of the scan process, than is presently available.
    Useful controls to have are;
    a) Abort (Dumps Results)
    b) Pause
    c) Continue
    d) Low/Medium/High Priority
    e) Stop (keeps results so far)
    f) Force wait before next scan
    g) Restart from Pause

    All of the above would be handy, but most importantly, and “abort immediately” type button would be really handy so control, speed, and performance is able to be regained for the website (at the expense of loosing the scan).
