This integration allows for all members of the typical software development lifecycle - development, QA, security and operations personnel, using any of the SPI Dynamics' products, to conduct application security testing and seamlessly track and remediate the application security defects discovered within the Quality Center platform. Before this integration, the process for discovering application security defects and then tracking and repairing those defects in an automated fashion was absent - it required disparate systems and separate processes.
   

    "Unifying application security testing with defect tracking and remediation to create one seamless process is a major step forward to enabling application security testing as a baked-in discipline in the software development lifecycle," said Erik Peterson, vice president product management for SPI Dynamics. "Leading organizations that are taking a lifecycle approach to software security testing recognize that application security defects are best addressed like any other software defect, as a function within the SDLC. SPI Dynamics understands that the key to successfully addressing security defects is through broad integration with the leading software testing and defect management processes and platforms. We have worked closely for over four years with the Quality Center team to deliver integrated products that simplify security testing and unify the test and remediation functions."

    Unified Security Testing, Defect Tracking and Remediation SPI Dynamics now offers organizations three options to unify security testing, defect tracking and remediation as a part of their SDLC process. These three solutions leverage the built-in flexibility of the SPI Dynamics' product suite to integrate with the best of breed solutions from market share leaders in the application lifecycle management space. With this solution breadth, organizations are not forced to take a siloed approach to application security testing; they are empowered to collaborate on security defects throughout the application development lifecycle. Working with more than 950 customers, the largest customer base in the application security market, SPI Dynamics has developed the most innovative solutions that address the growing need to simplify security testing and incorporate it as an integrated function of the overall software development lifecycle.

• Enterprise-wide Application Security Control and Defect Tracking - Built-in close collaboration with HP Quality Center and development teams, and utilizing the HP Quality Center API, SPI Dynamics announces their new Quality Center Enterprise Integration Module(TM). The Quality Center Enterprise Integration Module fully integrates the entire SPI Dynamics' product suite including DevInspect(R), WebInspect(TM) and the Assessment Management Platform(TM) (AMP), in addition to the already native integration provided in QAInspect(R), with HP Quality Center(TM), creating the industry's first application security center of excellence. With the Quality Center Enterprise Integration Module, organizations can now run an application security assessment from any of the SPI Dynamics' products and seamlessly create defects within HP's Quality Center. Any application security test that is run from a SPI Dynamics' product can be easily tracked and remediated within HP Quality Center, which can now act as the system of record for functional, performance and security defects. This enables complete enterprise-wide control and visibility of web application security testing results.
  

• One Click Security Defect Communication Channel - Additionally, SPI Dynamics announced a new technology innovation as part of its market leading flagship web application security testing product, WebInspect, that enables organizations to simply right click and transfer security defect information directly to HP Quality Center. This delivers a simplified and streamlined approach for organizations to track and manage security defects within the lifecycle and extends the capabilities of the application development processes already in place.
  

• Integrated, Automated Security Testing - Over the past four years, SPI Dynamics has worked closely with HP in the development of its deeply integrated offerings for the entire HP automated test and functional test product lines, which are available through the natively integrated QAInspect family of solutions. Today, SPI Dynamics offers fifteen different integrations for several versions of five HP testing products including: Quality Center, Test Director(TM), Quick Test Professional(TM), Business Process Testing(TM) and WinRunner(R). QAInspect's integration with HP products helps to greatly simplify and automate application security as a part of the QA process, significantly reducing the overall cost of application deployment and organizational risk.
