About Security Testing
Security testing falls into the criteria of non-functional testing where testers check if an application is prone to potential attacks. The entire testing process is meant to find out if the system can protect the important data while functioning properly. Information is the most important thing ever, if you lose it then you will probably lose your money too. With the help of security testing, you can monitor data encryption and firewalls.
While performing security testing, testers think of themselves as a hacker who is trying to hack the system. Generally, the test attacks that people come across are SQL Injection, authentication, Cross-site Scripting (XSS), and direct object pathways. These tests can be of great help in identifying defects in a mobile or web application. Most of the time, mobile and web applications never pass in the first time, it needs some time and re-testing. A small mistake could cost you a lot in terms of money, trust and lawsuits.
One needs to have proper training and education for performing quality security testing. It needs someone who is experienced enough to handle such kind of testing and has done it in the past too.
