Overview/Description

This 8-video course covers the use of secure software testing best practices, specifically exploring how to perform secure software testing by tracking security errors, developing securing test data, and verification and validation testing results. Learners will first explore undocumented features—an IT-related term developed to describe software bugs or defects—and how to resolve them, including by use of host-based intrusion prevention systems. Next, you will explore security implications of test results. In general, testing should be performed throughout the software development lifecycle by software testers, members of the quality assurance (QA) team responsible for testing and managing software testers. Artifacts—resources which support the development process—are created throughout the lifecycle process, including use cases and the test plan which identifies objectives of the software test. Learn how to perform secure software testing, to track security errors, and verify and validate the results. The course prepares learners for the (ISC)2 CSSLP: Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional certification exam.
