We're taking a serious look at Watchfire's AppScan...

After some initial digging, it looks like most people lean towards Spidynamics' WebInspect or Watchfire's AppScan. I plan on looking into both of those. Obviously, none of these products are the end-all-be-all of web app security, but they do address the basic need of common web app coding errors for an initial level of validation of both in-house developed apps as well as pre-purchase testing of commercial apps. So, what did you learn when looking into this space, what did you select and why? Thanks, Brad Judy IT Security Office Information Technology Services University of Colorado at Boulder
