Abstract

Security assessment and vulnerability testing of software applications is performed based at least in part on application metadata in order to determine an appropriate assurance level and associated test plan that includes multiple types of analysis. Steps from each test are combined into a “custom” or “application-specific” workflow, and the results of each test may then be correlated with other results to identify potential vulnerabilities and/or faults.
