### DAST job order
When using the `DAST.gitlab-ci.yml` template, the `dast` stage is run last as shown in
the example below. To ensure DAST scans the latest code, deploy your application
in a stage before the `dast` stage.
```yaml
stages:
- build
- test
- deploy
- dast
```
Be aware that if your pipeline is configured to deploy to the same webserver in
each run, running a pipeline while another is still running could cause a race condition
where one pipeline overwrites the code from another pipeline. The site to be scanned
should be excluded from changes for the duration of a DAST scan.
The only changes to the site should be from the DAST scanner. Be aware that any
changes that users, scheduled tasks, database changes, code changes, other pipelines, or other scanners make to

Take care if your pipeline is configured to deploy to the same web server in each run. Running a

another pipeline. The site to be scanned should be excluded from changes for the duration of a DAST
scan. The only changes to the site should be from the DAST scanner.
Changes to the site during a scan from any of the following could lead to inaccurate results:
