Rasmus built a tool while he was at Y! called Scanmus which doing automated probing. I've seen him demo it to students while we were giving classes at universities. It's amazing how eye opening that experience can be.

P.s. no you can't have a copy of Scanmus P.p.s if you are really curious just Google the name

Disclaimer: I still work for Y! :) and I'm proud of our security guys

P.p.p.s no that wasn't a challenge

If you have enough money to keep a single developer on staff, you have orders of magnitude more budget than it takes to license a copy of Burp Suite. Burp is the de facto pen testing industry standard, and it's a fantastic QA tool in general. If you have a product and you don't know about Burp, you should buy it pretty much immediately.
