How can you ensure web application security with automation testing?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Web applications are vulnerable to various types of attacks, such as injection, cross-site scripting, broken authentication, and insecure deserialization. These attacks can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data and systems. Automation testing can help you detect and prevent these security risks by simulating malicious scenarios and validating the response of your web application. In this article, you will learn how to ensure web application security with automation testing.

1 Choose the right tools

Automation testing requires the use of tools that can perform different types of security tests, such as vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and fuzzing. You should choose tools that are compatible with your web application's technology stack, architecture, and functionality. Some examples of popular tools for web application security testing are OWASP ZAP, Nmap, Burp Suite, and Selenium. You should also use tools that can generate and analyze reports, logs, and metrics to help you identify and prioritize the security issues.

Solo un SUICIDA usaría una herramienta como Nmap en un entorno industrial. Por otra parte no me gustan demasiado los entornos WEB para sistema de control Industrial. Podéis llamarme clásico o antiguo, pero creo que donde este una aplicación industrial clásica que se quiten los entornos Web. No veo un entorno industrial ejecutado sobre un navegador como Edge o Chrome, solo por un tema de fiabilidad del código generado en el web y las posibles vulnerabilidades del servidor web que gestione el sistema.

2 Follow the best practices

Automation testing should follow the best practices of web application security, such as the OWASP Top 10, which are the most common and critical security risks for web applications. You should also follow the principles of secure coding, such as input validation, output encoding, encryption, and error handling. You should also implement a secure development lifecycle (SDLC), which is a framework that integrates security into every stage of the development process, from planning to deployment.

3 Design and execute the test cases

Automation testing should cover the most important and relevant test cases for your web application's security. You should design the test cases based on the security requirements, threats, and risks of your web application. You should also consider the user roles, permissions, and scenarios that may affect the security of your web application. You should execute the test cases regularly and continuously, using tools that can automate the test execution and scheduling. You should also monitor and update the test cases as your web application evolves.

4 Review and improve the test results

Automation testing should provide you with accurate and actionable feedback on your web application's security. You should review the test results and analyze the root causes, impacts, and solutions of the security issues. You should also prioritize the security issues based on their severity, likelihood, and business impact. You should communicate the test results and recommendations to the relevant stakeholders, such as developers, managers, and clients. You should also improve the test results by fixing the security issues, enhancing the test cases, and optimizing the test performance.

5 Integrate and collaborate with other teams

Automation testing should not work in isolation, but rather in integration and collaboration with other teams involved in the web application development and maintenance. You should integrate your automation testing tools and processes with the tools and processes of other teams, such as code analysis, version control, configuration management, and continuous integration and delivery. You should also collaborate with other teams to share knowledge, feedback, and best practices on web application security. You should also align your automation testing goals and objectives with the business goals and objectives of your web application.

6 Learn and update your skills

Automation testing is a dynamic and evolving field that requires constant learning and updating of your skills. You should keep yourself updated on the latest trends, technologies, and techniques of web application security and automation testing. You should also learn from your own experiences, mistakes, and successes. You should also seek feedback, guidance, and mentorship from other experts and peers in the field. You should also participate in training, certification, and community events to enhance your knowledge and network.

Neste aspecto entendo que é fundamental a intera??o com outros membros da equipe como auxílio no aprendizado e troca de experiências. A atualiza??o se dá através de cursos e treinamentos, porém é fortemente motivada quando temos um ambiente de colabora??o para supera??o de novos desafios.

Na automa??o de processos, podemos considerar a utiliza??o de plataformas para o desenvolvimento de aplicativos web de baixo código, bem como plataformas que empregam metodologias ágeis com base nos fundamentos dos processos de funcionamento.
