Enhancements in manual testing align with reporting and integration features
WebInspect works efficiently with Java-based or .NET based applications. However, it struggles with Salesforce applications, where it requires approximately 20-24 hours to crawl and audit but produces minimal findings, necessitating manual verification. The solution offers customization features for crawling and vulnerability detection. It includes various security frameworks and allows selection of specific vulnerability types to audit, such as OWASP Top 10 or JavaScript-based vulnerabilities. When working with APIs, we can select OWASP API Top 10. The tool also supports custom audit features by combining different security frameworks. For on-premises deployment, the setup is complex, particularly regarding SQL server configuration. Unlike Burp Suite or OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing, which have simpler setup processes, WebInspect requires SQL server setup to function.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."
"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."
"Using HipTest makes the testing process easy and its support for Behavior Driven Development helps align all the team members, whether technical or non-technical."
"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."
"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."
"With it, you get a centralized board, you have a management view, enroll management and access management, everything is there."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"I'm sorry, but there is no review content provided to extract a quote from."
"I've found the centralized dashboard the most valuable. For the management, it helps a lot to have abilities at the central level."
"The FPA and Audit Workbench are very helpful for me, and when we are integrating it with SSC, we're able to scan and trace and see all of the vulnerabilities, with very detailed examples for each vulnerability, so it is very good for users and beginners and doesn't take a lot of time to understand the tool."
"The most valuable feature is the static analysis."
"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."
"More tutorials and examples."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."
"There are some file extensions, like .SER, that Fortify WebInspect doesn't scan."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"This solution is very expensive."
"Creating reports is very slow and it is something that should be improved."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"We have often encountered scanning errors."
"I'm not sure licensing, but on the pricing, it's a bit costly. It's a bit overpriced. Though it is an enterprise tool, there are other tools also with similar functionalities."
"The solution is on the expensive side. It's something that clients comment on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is okay."
"This solution is very expensive."
"Its price is almost similar to the price of AppScan. Both of them are very costly. Its price could be reduced because it can be very costly for unlimited IT scans, etc. I'm not sure, but it can go up to $40,000 to $50,000 or more than that."
"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."
"It’s a fair price for the solution."
