You should check out the paper at
http://www.niscc.gov.uk/docs/secureWebApps.pdf
It was originally a Blackhat training course developed by NGS Software, and
now made available to everyone via NISCC. It covers web application testing
methodologies around cross-site scripting and SQL Injection.

Subject: SQL Injection and XSS testing,
Dear all,
Excuse me for this basic question. Just wondering in regards to the SQL
injection, is it sufficient to insert the input with "1=1--" to test
whether a site is vulnerable to the SQL injection? How much level of
assurance can we get by testing the SQL injection limited to "1=1--"?
If I am not wrong I guess most of the security aspects in Web
application are mainly around input validation. So I was wondering is
there any free open source software to automate all the input? Or maybe
a list of stuff that usually need to test? Say SQL Injection or XSS? Is
there a list of parameters kind of cheat sheet?
John,
