Give an app to 5 different security testers, you'll get 5 different reports
Have you had security vulnerabilities exposed to you, where you would have expected to know about them earlier, during last year’s pentest? There are lots of factors that come into play here including: scoping, tester backgrounds, different skill sets, new testing tools and different ways to think about problems. This talk will dive into some of these areas, and how you can try and balance these to highlight issues with your application quicker.
Who is this talk for?
This talk is for software developers, functional testers, as well as product owners.
What will attendees take away?
How they can ensure they get appropriate testing coverage of their apps.
How they can set themselves up for success when doing testing.
Some takeaways of things we do in security, that may be relevant to their areas to ensure coverage when doing other testing.
