With the advent of web technologies, the world cannot get away from dealing with various vulnerabilities either in websites or web applications.New technologies developed have introduced new possibilities for exploitations.This problem continues to emerge due to most of web-based application developers often lack background knowledge of internet security.In addition, they are less aware of flaws or weaknesses in the system's design, implementation and security procedures that might result in the system to be easily compromised.Moreover, developers are commonly forced to focus on the functionality for the end-user rather than considering the security analysis of the application developed.Besides, working under pressure in order to accomplish the task has led to poorly developed web applications due to limitation of time for checking the vulnerabilities and flaws inside the codes [1].
