Planning-based security testing of web applications
Josip Božić, Franz Wotawa · 2018
Web applications are deployed on machines around the globe and offer almost universal accessibility. The systems ensure functional interconnectivity between different components on a 24/7 basis. One of the most important requirements represents data confidentiality and secure authentication. However, implementation flaws and unfulfilled requirements can result in security leaks that can be eventually exploited by a malicious user. Here different testing methods are applied in order to detect software defects and prevent unauthorized access in advance.
