Integrating Security Into the QA Group
Sponsored by Fortify
Until recently, Web Application Testing was left to security teams and ethical hackers who used advanced tools, such as Web application scanners, to analyze running Web applications. However, security groups are becoming overburdened by product releases, and many organizations are attempting to move security testing earlier in the development cycle. The QA group is a natural candidate, since it generally has the infrastructure in place to test applications for quality issues. However, for many organizations, integrating security into the QA group has been incredibly difficult. The process of running a security test is a learned skill, and not something one can teach a QA tester in a matter of days. On top of that, most security testing tools were designed for penetration testers (since they require an in-depth knowledge of application security theory) and are not generally usable by QA professionals. As a result, very few QA groups have successfully adopted security testing.
