Security Foundations for Software Testing
Description
Security testing is a type of software testing that allows you to uncover potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses. These weaknesses lead to security risks — which could impact the system, data, or users.
Just like how software testing is performed to check that the software is working as expected; security testing is performed to tell if the software can be misused or exploited to make it do something it shouldn’t — such as give you more data or access than you should have, or make the systems unreliable or unavailable.
In this course, we’re going to learn a bit more about what security testing is, and specifically how we can integrate it into every aspect of our software development life cycle.
This is a foundations course, and we will dive into more detail of specific aspects of security testing in later courses.
