Introducing HP QAInspect 5.1

I am pleased to announce the release of HP QAInspect 5.1 for electronic download and SmartUpdate.  QAInspect 5.1 will appear on the HP.com domain for customer and evaluation download within the next few weeks after the system has processed it.  This release includes minor cosmetic changes but major changes under-the-covers to improve our integration with Quality Center (in preparation for QC 10) and the latest SecureBase engine.  This product was distributed to and tested by several customers in an Early Access Program with great results.  

What’s New in 5.1

Improved User PermissionsQAInspect no longer uses the Command Object to  communicate with Quality Center.  This dramatically reduces the minimum user permissions needed to run a QAInspect test.  
  •  To integrate QAInspect into a Quality Center project requires ”Customize Project Entities” as a minimum access requirement.  This is a one-time setting that creates the custom fields necessary in the project.  Once it is included in the project any user is able to use QAInspect.
  • Quality Center’s default QA Tester user level is now sufficient to configure and run a QAInspect test.  This role is also able to fully publish defects found during a security scan.

Updated Scan Engine

QAInspect 5.1 has been updated to include the most recent scanning engine making it compatible with WebInspect 7.7.   This includes new tests, performance improvements and greater infrastructure support.
  •  Enhancements to the Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Engine
  •  Significant SQL Injection Engine Accuracy Improvements
  •  Enhancements to the JavaScript Parser
 Automatic Proxy configuration (PAC) support:With the inclusion of the latest scanning engine QAInspect 5.1 also inherits full support for automatic proxy configuration (PAC) files.  If your organization utilizes PAC files please test this version to assure that it works in your environment. Deactivate License:QAInspect licenses are assigned to specific computers. If you would like to transfer a license from one computer to another, you can now use the Deactivate license feature.  Ready for Download Today:Install Files
