Reviewing and Testing the Code
In this week, you will use the application
code you have modified (developed) in the previous weeks to modify it
further and create a report in a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document to
address the following:
- Create three misuse
cases for the application. Diagram each misuse case and describe the
misuse. How would the current system react to this misuse? How should
the behavior of the system be modified to prevent this misuse? Would
this modification affect the functionality of the system? If so, how? - Identify tools or
techniques for reviewing the application code for security prior to
release. Describe the use of each tool or technique you have
identified. - Create a plan for
testing the application once it goes to production (live on the web).
What elements need to be tested as the highest priority? What parts of
the environment would affect the security of the system when it is in
place? - What elements of
security should be reviewed periodically once the application is in
production? Why are these elements an ongoing concern? - Identify a plan for retiring the system securely.
Remember to consider the removal of all communication channels and
components of the software that could potentially be accessed after the
software system is retired.
