==== First Reviewer ====
'''''[[User:Dr. Markus Maria Miedaner|Markus]]'s Review:'''''<br />
<small>Ideally, reviewers should be an existing OWASP project leader or chapter leader.</small>

{{ Assessment Questions - Tools

| 1. Is an installer for the tool available and easy to use? How close does it reach the goal of a fully automated installer?
= Only checked the linux version -> works as I expected it. Good!

| 2. Is the end user documentation complete, relevant and presented on the OWASP wiki page?
= Good documentation - Nice work! Especially I do like the popup window which answers this question once you start the application. Great idea!

|3. Does the tool have an “About box” or similar help item which allows the end user to get an overview of the state of this tool? Is this information readily available and easy to find?
= Yes!

| 4. Does the documentation on building the source provide the necessary information and detail to allow someone to build the tool? Is there sufficient detail and information for the target user? Is there any domain specific knowledge that is assumed and not provided?
= To be improved -> I could not find it within the tarball

| 5. Is the tool's documentation available with the source code and would it readily discoverable by a new user of the tool?
= Worked out of the box. Only a few warnings (two) - fine. Compiling was fine.
Two minor aspects on linux:
a) starting ZAP as root it tells me that it can't listen an on port 8080
b) while compiling I do get a few warnings -> not nice - BUT NOT A PROBLEM


| 6. Is there anything missing that is critical enough to keep the release at a alpha quality?
= NO

| 7. Does the tool substantially address the application security issues it was created to solve?
= YES

| 8. Is the tool reasonably easy to use?
= YES


| 9. Does the documentation meet the needs of the tool users and is easily found?
= YES

| 10. Do the build scripts work as expected? Can you build the tool? The goal is a “One-click” build.
= YES

| 11. Is the bug tracking system usable? Is it hosted at the same place as the source code? (e.g. Google Code, Sourceforge)
= YES

| 12. Have you noted any limitations of the tool that are not already documented by the project lead.
= no

| 13. Would you consider using this tool in your day to day work assuming your professional work includes a reason to use this tool? Why or why not?
= I do recommend it for that and plan to use it for teaching.


| 14. What, if anything, is missing which would make this a more useful tool? Is what is missing critical enough to keep the release at a beta quality?
= The current release is ready for beta.
