The security of web applications has become a crucial aspect in protecting users’ data and personal information. The potential for vulnerabilities in web applications to result in data theft, loss of trust in service providers, and significant financial loss underscores the significance of robust automated web application scans. This research paper examines the use of tools such as Wapiti, Selenium, and SQLMap for automated web application testing. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of automated scanning for a specific web application and to establish a benchmark for evaluating the results. The scope of the analysis encompasses the various security aspects covered by these tools and assesses their effectiveness and accuracy in detecting vulnerabilities.
