An Approach for the Inception of Security Testing in the Early Stages of Software Development

During software development the security must be considered as a parallel thought from the very beginning. In the early stages of software development the security can be handled and managed. There is sufficient material available in early stages to take into account for security testing. Here the detailed structure of the software is available. As the requirement phase is the first phase, the detailed requirements are also available. To have a secure system it is necessary to start thinking and working on security during inception of the software development. Various dimensions have been considered and a systematic approach is given. This paper deals with the inception of the security testing and presents an approach that will be helpful for researchers who are working in the field of security testing.
