LinkScan QuickCheck serves two functions:
It is invoked automatically via hyperlinks from some of the other LinkScan Reports to display a highly detailed report for a single document.
It may be invoked directly from the main LinkScan Reports Menu and used to check (or recheck) an single document or link.
Each QuickCheck Report includes several items of information that are transparently integrated:
QuickCheck has a strong affinity for the LinkScan database. If the data are available in the database associated with the currently selected Project, QuickCheck will seek to ascertain the status of each link using the database and the status found during the last full scan. If this is not available, or the requested document lies outside the scope of the current Project, QuickCheck will perform a full link analysis on that document in real-time.
If QuickCheck has pulled the link status data from the database, the user may force a fresh, real-time scan of that document. This is useful when, for example, you want to recheck a single document after making changes to it. Simply use the Recheck Now option included on each Report.
You may also run LinkScan QuickCheck from the command line in exactly the same manner as the linkscan.cgi program as show below:
