Original Post: Confused by agents? We’ve cleaned up our jargon … | Blog
The article written by Matt Atkinson on April 27, 2022, discusses the efforts by Burp Suite Enterprise Edition to simplify the language used in their product documentation. One major change is the removal of the term “agent,” which was causing confusion among users due to its multiple meanings. The term was used to refer to logical entities performing scans, the machines running these scans, and the software installed on these machines.
Acknowledging the confusion caused, the team has revised the user interface, website, and product documentation to eliminate this term. Moving forward, they will use more straightforward terms like “concurrent scans” and “scanning machines” to describe the product’s functionalities.
