If you maintain a website, a web application or you just simply user of that website, you probably would want to find out a little bit about the sites that you own or have visited as to whether or not they are actually secure.
There are some great tools for doing that. The Google chrome and other some good web browsers also do a pretty good reasonable job of warning you about potential problems.
So, if you go to a some website in the google chrome or some good browser, you must have noticed a pop icon comes up where the HTTPS would be. That is the chrome’s way of telling you that there is something wrong about this site.
Just like that above stuffs, web developers and testers always have an eye on the web application for finding faults and possible loop holes , security breaches of a website.
By reducing the human efforts with a new
technologies for automating stuffs, testing a website for security concerns by
using an automation tool which can perform the test suites which created in
backend by developers.
Vulnerability Scanner can scan the stuffs then get the accurate test data and put those into the testing environment where the tool will compare the resulted data with an actual results then it prepares a perfect detailed report of all tests performed.
To decrease the manual no of test case running, this kind of automated tool has created.
Automated testing helps reduce risk and repeating manual efforts.
It provides the team with confidence because they have a set of reliable and repeatable tests.
Automated tool totally reduces time and human errors.
Consider a has invested time in building a suite of automated tests from the beginning of the project and as requests for changes or new features are added to the icon they will continue adding , changing the test suites for better results.
Every time there is an updated version of the website, the possible security threats need to be identified and being tested to see if it runs and integrates properly.
While seeing the overall quality of the website as automation assists in rapidly finding and fixing defects is incredible with number of case suites developed by developers it will find a reasonable good number of attacks.
The team is able to respond quickly in fixing the bugs and then rerunning the tests this time the results are successful.
Since the automated tests performs to the repetitive task of regression testing, this leaves the testing team with time to focus on manual exploratory testing.
