This work addresses security testing for software developers, but it is incremental as it applies existing tools to a new context.
The authors tackled security testing of a mature but insecure application by using JUnit for security bugs and Perl scripts during exploration, resulting in a practical approach to identifying vulnerabilities.
In this paper, I describe a recent practical experience where JUnit was used for testing security bugs in addition to functional bugs. Perl scripts were also used during the exploration phase. The application being tested was mature, but insecure.
