Why did this test use more Agent Ops than another?

Testing use of Agent Ops and the different levels of testing complexity

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Agent Ops usage can vary from test to test based on several factors, including the scope, complexity, and behavior of the target being tested.

Some tests require more Agent Ops because:

  • The application or system is more complex

  • Additional validation is required to confirm findings

  • Broader coverage is needed when no significant issues are identified

  • Authenticated testing enables deeper analysis

RedVeil automatically adjusts testing depth to ensure results are meaningful and properly validated, rather than stopping as soon as an issue is found.

πŸ’‘ Helpful to know

Agent Ops reflect testing effort and coverage, not the number of vulnerabilities found or how long a test takes. Two tests may produce similar results while requiring different amounts of testing work.
