Test target configuration for smoother scans with Snyk API & Web

We added a new Test configuration option to the Scan dropdown menu and the Target Settings page. This allows you to verify that your target is accessible and correctly configured before starting a full dynamic application security testing (DAST) scan. When you click this button, a side panel opens in your target settings to provide real-time feedback on connectivity, authentication, web application firewall (WAF) interference, schema validity, and any detected extra hosts.

We want to simplify your onboarding experience and prevent failed scans caused by misconfigured settings. By validating your setup upfront, we help you identify and fix issues immediately, reducing the need for troubleshooting or technical support later in the process.

You can now proactively test your target configuration. To use this feature, ensure you have the view_target, change_target_settings, and start_scan permissions.
