Software Testing Security Processes

Plain English Explanation

This question asks whether you have formal processes for testing your software before releasing it, including both automated testing (static) and testing while the application runs (dynamic). It's like having quality control in a factory - you need systematic checks to catch problems before your product reaches customers.

Business Impact

Without proper testing processes, security vulnerabilities and bugs reach production, causing breaches, downtime, and angry customers. Enterprise buyers need assurance that your software won't fail and expose their data. Documented testing processes reduce incidents, speed up security reviews, and demonstrate the reliability that wins and keeps enterprise accounts.

Common Pitfalls

Many teams rely solely on manual, ad-hoc testing without documented processes or only test happy-path scenarios, missing edge cases where vulnerabilities hide. Another mistake is having testing processes on paper that aren't consistently followed in practice.
