Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is a critical security measure for modern software delivery pipelines. It involves evaluating the security of web applications by actively testing them in real-time, simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities. As the cybersecurity threat landscape has evolved, DAST has emerged as a key tool for enforcing application security in continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
CI/CD pipelines have become a cornerstone of agile development, streamlining the software development life cycle. They allow for frequent code integration, fast testing and deployment. Having these processes automated help development teams reduce manual errors, ensure faster time-to-market, and deliver enhancements to end-users. However, they also pose risks that could compromise stability of their development ecosystem.
Modern continuous integration (CI) practices enable development teams to quickly and efficiently build and deploy application code to a shared codebase. However, deploying new code is typically accompanied by tests, and as the codebase expands, this results in a proportionately larger test suite.
