You can integrate Burp Scanner into your CI/CD pipeline really easily, without the need to set up a DAST server. This is ideal if you only want to run CI-driven scans, and you don't need to use the features of Burp Suite DAST's dashboard.

This option enables you to run Burp Scanner from a Docker container in your CI/CD platform. You can view the results of your scans directly in your CI/CD platform, where they're saved as a JUnit or Burp XML file.

Configuring your scans is straightforward. You can use a configuration file to define:

• Start URLs, and the scope of your scan
• The scan configuration
• Site login details

The configuration file is in YAML format, and includes comments to make it easy to use.
