Security Testing
Security Testing is a type of non-functional Software Testing that checks whether software is vulnerable to cyber-attacks and determines that the data and resources of the system are safe-guarded from hackers.
It ensures that the software system and application are free from any threats that can cause data loss and reputation of the organization.
Security testing provides evidence that systems and information are safe and reliable, and that they do not accept unauthorized inputs.
Unlike functional testing, Security Testing focuses more on ‘How’ part, than the ‘What’ part of the functional testing.
