Pentest lifecycle¶
A pentest progresses through these states:
- Created: Pentest exists and can be edited.
- Started: Pentest is running according to the defined scope.
- Paused: Temporarily halted; can be resumed without losing state.
- Completed: Finished; findings and report are available.
- Human needed: Awaiting user action (e.g., additional consent, credentials, or scope clarification).
The state is visible in the sidebar and on the respective live pentest page.
