ABSTRACT
Abstract:
Security has become a major concern for current software products because applications and their data are the ultimate goals for attackers. Testing is important in ensuring security of software. In this project, the author implements multiple identification methods and utilizes various tools for detecting a series of vulnerabilities. Effective tools are identified and evaluated. In addition, the author examines various methods and provides suggestions on testing different kinds of vulnerabilities. Besides that, companies and organizations can use testing data gathered in this project for reference. By this project, companies will have some guidance about how to perform security testing successfully. This project mainly focuses on testing when applications have been built. In the future, researches should continue working on identifying effective tools and efforts during various phase of software development for the best practice of software security testing.
