Something we've been lacking since the beginning is a good regression
testing framework. The good news is that Rapid7 will contribute to the
project with several hours a week of a QA tester that will implement a
regression testing framework for both w3af and NeXpose. With that,
we're going to be able to identify old bugs, fix them, and make sure
that introducing a new feature doesn't break what we already have.

This tester, together with the power of the community, will enhance
the quality of the framework.
