Security Testing

Definition of Security Testing as it relates to Software, Software Testing, Integration Testing

Security testing examines how well an application protects against unauthorized access and data breaches. It involves testing the integration of various systems, networks, and applications to ensure they work together securely. This includes validating authentication mechanisms, authorization controls, input validation, session management, and error handling. By performing security testing during integration testing, organizations can identify vulnerabilities early in the development cycle and mitigate risks before they become costly issues.
