SECURITY TESTING

SECURITY TESTING As we all know that Functional QA testing involves testing the functionality of the application so as to make sure that no major product functionality has broken down. It requires a tester to navigate the different areas of the application under test or simply using the application as an end user and finding out defects. Clearly, the functional testing is carried out by the viewpoint of a customer or end user. It involves testing all the workflows and executing all the scenarios. While in the case of Security testing the main emphasis is being laid on to make sure that no external threat is encountered, and no confidential information is leaked which can be disastrous for the organization.
