Features and benefits
Embed Security Testing seamlessly into your Development Environment
Rational AppScan Developer Edition empowers developers with the ability to invoke Web application security testing within their development environment in a non-disruptive fashion. Designed as a complement to the Rational AppScan family of security testing solutions, it enables the development organization to address the volumes of security issues that can be introduced in code. The improved development lifecycle workflow can now avoid the costly security testing bottleneck that inevitably occurs at the end of the release cycle, often resulting in disruption of the scheduled release plan.
