6 Types of Application Security Testing You Must Know About

Application security testing is essential for developing secure software. Here are six key types:

1. Penetration Testing for the SDLC: Identifies vulnerabilities throughout development stages.
2. Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): Tests running applications for runtime vulnerabilities.
3. Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Analyzes source code for security flaws.
4. Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST): Combines SAST and DAST for comprehensive testing.
5. Fuzz Testing for APIs: Sends unexpected inputs to find vulnerabilities.
6. Application Security Posture Management (APSM): Continuously manages application security.
