Course Overview
This course bridges the gap between 'Quality Assurance' and 'Hacking.' We highly recommend this to current QA engineers who want a massive salary bump. Learning how to run SAST and DAST tools instantly elevates you from a standard Software Tester to a highly valuable DevSecOps professional.
Understand the testing and acceptance phases for delivering secure software.
Building security rules into a system is useless if you do not rigorously test whether those rules actually hold under attack. 'Secure Software: Testing and Acceptance' is an advanced QA module focused entirely on vulnerability discovery. You will move beyond standard functional testing and learn how to conduct aggressive security audits. The curriculum explores dynamic application security testing (DAST) and static application security testing (SAST), teaching you how to use automated tools to scan massive codebases for hidden flaws. You will understand how to conduct penetration testing logistics, evaluate cryptography implementations, and finally, structure the formal 'Security Acceptance' phase, dictating the stringent criteria a product must pass before it is legally allowed to be deployed to production.
- •Self-paced learning, anytime and anywhere.
- •Accessible on any device (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile).
- •Interactive content designed for maximum retention.
