<\/p>\n
Security testing<\/b> is a <\/span>type of software testing<\/span><\/a> that identifies vulnerabilities, threats, and risks in a software application and protects it from malicious intruder attacks. The purpose of Security Tests is to identify all potential loopholes and weaknesses in the software system that could result in a loss of information, revenue, or reputation at the hands of the organization’s employees or outsiders.<\/span><\/p>\n The primary goal of security testing is to identify threats in the system and measure its potential vulnerabilities so that threats can be encountered. In contrast, the system remains operational and cannot be exploited. It also assists in detecting all possible security risks in the system and assisting developers in resolving issues through coding.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the Open Source Security Testing methodology manual, there are seven major types of security testing. They are explained below:<\/span><\/p>\n It is always agreed that the cost will be higher if security test is delayed after the software implementation phase or after deployment. As a result, security testing must be included early in the SDLC life cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n Let’s look at the security processes used for each phase of the SDLC.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Why Is Necessary?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
