What is HTML Dynamic Form authentication for web assessments?

HTML Dynamic Form authentication allows the assessment to log in to a protected web application that uses dynamically generated login forms (for example, forms created or modified using JavaScript). Once authenticated, the assessment continues to identify vulnerabilities within the web application's protected areas.
