Impact of inheritance on vulnerability propagation at design phase
Alka Bani Agrawal, Raees Ahmad Khan · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2009
The design phase of software development provides the foundation for secure software. Reducing vulnerability at this phase minimizes rework in subsequent development phases. Currently, no efficient measure or method is available to reduce this vulnerability. In or-der to address this problem, we have proposed an algorithm to measure vulnerability propagation for an object-oriented design that calculates the Attribute Vulnerability Ratio (AVR).
