Automated Software Testing Starting from Static Analysis: Current State of the Art

Understand

The mass production of complex software has made it impossible to manually test it for security vulnerabilities.

• Automated security testing tools come in a variety of flavors, function at various stages of software development, and target different categories of software vulnerabilities.
• It is great that we have a plethora of automated tools to choose from, but it is a problem that their adoption and recognition are not prominent.
• The purpose of this study is to explore the possibilities of existing techniques while also broadening the horizon by exploring the future of security testing tools and related techniques.
