Embed security into the software development life cycle. Discover how to use offline security testing to validate your code and uncover vulnerabilities.
Building security testing into the software development life cycle is the best way to protect your app and your end users. This course identifies tools and techniques that developers can use to minimize the cost and impact of security testingâwhile maximizing its impact and effectiveness. In this course, instructor Jerod Brennen focuses on offline testing activities: preparing test plans, policies, and other documentation and conducting offline source code reviews. He also explains how to conduct offline testing for the OWASP Top Ten vulnerabilities. Along the way, you can become familiar with best practices around security in the SDLC. The hands-on sectionsâwith demos of popular tools such as Codacy and SonarQubeâprepare you to apply the lessons in the real world.
