Frequently asked questions
What is software security testing, and why is it important?
Software security testing checks software for vulnerabilities to protect against cyberattacks and data breaches. It’s crucial for safeguarding sensitive data, ensuring compliance, and maintaining system reliability and user trust.
How does software security testing differ from penetration testing?
Software security testing is a broad, often automated scan to flag possible vulnerabilities. In contrast, penetration testing is a deeper, expert-driven, real-world attack simulation that exploits issues and gives detailed remediation guidance.
What types of vulnerabilities are identified in software testing?
Software security testing detects common flaws like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), authentication bypasses, misconfigurations, logic flaws, and insecure input handling. Essentially, anything that could let attackers in.
What’s the difference between black box, grey box, and white box testing?
Black box testing examines software functionality without internal knowledge. White box testing analyzes internal code and logic, and grey box testing combines both, using partial internal knowledge for thorough evaluation.
Can software security testing be automated, or do you need manual testing?
Automation (e.g., vulnerability scanners, DAST) can catch many issues efficiently and continuously, but manual testing is essential to uncover complex logic flaws or chained exploits that DAST tools may miss.
