Comprehensive browser-based reports that detail Web site privacy and accessibility issues are included as standard components of COAST Web Quality Central.

In addition, powerful PageRules(TM) technology allows organizations to customize scans to monitor for unique operational security, corporate governance and branding standards.
"Organizations today face a number of challenges managing their mission critical Web sites," says COAST Software's CEO Paul Saunders. "COAST Web Quality Central will improve Web site quality, corporate compliance and operational security standards by continually monitoring and verifying Web content and Web site integrity."
The latest version of COAST Web Quality Central delivers a number of significant enhancements including new executive summary reports that provide a quick, visual snapshot of Web site performance. New charting and trend analysis capabilities also combine to provide users with a way to evaluate the progress of their Web site and further enhance the usability and usefulness of the browser-based reports.
"We believe that organizations should begin to build an overall content quality assurance strategy and incorporate it into their compliance strategies," says Gene Alvarez, vice president of Technology Research Services at META Group. "Corporate content quality assurance strategies will protect an organization from publicly embarrassing and litigious events that reduce brand goodwill."
Groundbreaking new technology included in the latest version of COAST Web Quality Central allows users to integrate custom scripts within scans to enable the creation of complex automated tests that have the intelligence to complete forms or perform tasks while monitoring a Web site. The combination of scanning and scripting presents an enormous number of possibilities in terms of how a scan is performed and how personalization or transaction processing can be tested on a Web site.
