ActionScript vs. JavaScript vs. OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing vs. PureScript Comparison Chart

The ActionScript® scripting language lets you add complex interactivity, playback control, and data display to your application. You can add ActionScript in the authoring environment by using the Actions panel, Script window, or an external editor. ActionScript follows its own rules of syntax, and reserved keywords, and lets you use variables to store and retrieve information. ActionScript includes a large library of built‑in classes that let you create objects to perform many useful tasks. You do not have to understand every ActionScript element to begin scripting. If you have a clear goal, you can start building scripts with simple actions. ActionScript and JavaScript are both rooted in the ECMA-262 standard, the international standard for the ECMAScript scripting language. For this reason, developers who are familiar with JavaScript can find ActionScript immediately familiar. Animate includes more than one version of ActionScript to meet the needs of different kinds of developers.

OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is an automated solution that simulates real-world attacks on live applications, APIs, and services to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. It operates on running production environments, requiring no source code or staging setup. Designed for modern DevSecOps teams, the platform prioritizes vulnerabilities for root cause analysis and integrates seamlessly through REST APIs and an intuitive user interface. OpenText DAST supports automation in CI/CD pipelines, reducing manual efforts while accelerating security feedback. It covers modern web technologies like HTML5, JSON, AJAX, JavaScript, and HTTP2 to ensure comprehensive testing. Flexible deployment options allow organizations to run the solution on public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises environments.
