A new add-on is now available for dynamic security testing bases on ZAP project (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Zed_Attack_Proxy_Project). This is in usage very similar to Check_508 task, but it checks to see whether there are any dynamic security vulnerabilities in your web application via the new command Active_web_security_check. Needs an additional license

Import/Export functionality is enhanced to allow these operations at the folder, suite, and individual test case levels. Here are all the options for this command:

  - All Tests to Suite - when this option is selected, the user is prompted to select the Suite in which all Test Cases will be saved
- Conflicts
  User can tell what to do if object with same name already exists
  Folder, Suites:
  - Create- create new folder/suite with name+postfix
  - Reuse- use an existing folder/suite
- Artifacts, Test Cases, Functions
  - Keep both - create new object with name+postfix
  - Override - fill old object with new values
  - Skip - skip importing an object and use the old one instead
System variable @System.os has been added with the possible values of Windows, macOS, and Linux. This facilitates writing operating system-specific test code if needed
Advance view for a test case is switched to JSON format as opposed to Text and editing of a test can be done with a full-blown editor with syntax highlighting as opposed to plain old version
Multiple call backs can be included in an execution set. In order to use it, edit an execution set and add all the callbacks needed at the bottom of the screen
