Description: Security Testing refers to systematic procedures designed to ensure that data security measures are effective and robust. In the context of software development practices, these tests are fundamental to validate that systems and applications not only meet functional requirements but also protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data. Security Testing involves identifying vulnerabilities, assessing risks, and implementing appropriate security controls. This includes penetration testing, vulnerability analysis, and code reviews, among other methods. The importance of these tests lies in the increasing amount of sensitive data that organizations handle, as well as the need to comply with security regulations and standards. By integrating Security Testing into the software development lifecycle, it ensures that applications are resilient to attacks and that data is protected from the early stages of development. This not only helps prevent security breaches but also fosters user and customer trust in the systems they use.
