Seven Habits of Highly Insecure Software

Many security bugs escape traditional testing techniques and the authors wanted to find out why. They studied thousands of real security bugs. They asked themselves what the cause of the bugs were and how they could have found them during testing. This paper explains what they found and how your team can benefit from it.

Testing Success or Failure - It's Up to You

This paper discusses how you can move as many dangers out of the testing minefield as possible.

Following these guidelines will also help you increase the effectiveness of your testing.

Testing in the XP Paradigm: A Case Study

The application in this case study is a new Web application developed for a Fiduciary Trust company. The company had been assured by their eXtreme developers that testers were unnecessary in this Web project. Since the risk of project failure would be measured in millions of dollars in lost business, someone thought it a good idea to risk a few hundred on a second opinion. This turned out to be a good risk for them and a really good opportunity to measure the
cost of not testing. This paper gives the account of what happened when this application went on line, and presents
a review of the test log, and the bugs reported. Because of the nature of the project and the type of failures that occurred, this project provided a unique opportunity to calculate the cost of not testing and the value of testing in terms of customer support dollars that would have been spent without testing and the that were saved because of testing.

Introduction to Systematic Testing

This course provides an introduction and overview of a systematic approach to testing. The goal is to create well focused and structured tests. This is only one view of testing. Other views, such as exploratory testing, look at the process from a different perspective. Dale Perry explains systematic testing.
