The HP team then helps analyse the results of security tests that are implemented by people that may not have security expertise. "By using this model to test applications for security vulnerabilities within existing development, quality assurance and operations processes, organisations can increase security coverage across the enterprise at minimal cost," added Sher. The model also promises to help organisations find and fix security vulnerabilities earlier in the application design process which helps lower costs.

The second release, HP WebInspect 8.0, promises accurate security testing and remediation capabilities for complex Web applications, including those built on emerging Web 2.0 technologies.
