# Testing for XSS Vulnerabilities with Burp Suite
## When to Use
- During authorized web application penetration testing to find reflected, stored, and DOM-based XSS
- When validating XSS findings reported by automated vulnerability scanners
- For testing the effectiveness of Content Security Policy (CSP) and XSS filters
- When assessing client-side security of single-page applications (SPAs)
- During bug bounty programs targeting XSS vulnerabilities
