Burp scan, zap scan are two products for penetration testing / vulnerability scans. They mount organized attacks on your web site. They look for stuff like sql injection and xsrf, and all that.

Burp has a broader scope because it does fuzz-style random testing. Zap is more reproducible. (Burp can be a pain in the neck because it doesn't reliably retest stuff it found.)

Be gentle with your new developer colleagues as you present them the results from these tools. They almost always find a couple of more-or-less silly vulnerabilities.
