CSSLP: Secure Software Testing Competency (Intermediate Level)
- 25m
- 25 questions
The Secure Software Testing Competency benchmark assesses your knowledge of essential testing types, as well as how to apply best practices for security testing and quality assurance, bug tracking, and the ISO 9126, SSE-CMM, OSSTMM, and DIACAP standards. You will be evaluated on your skills in performing secure software testing by tracking security errors, securing test data, and verifying and validating testing results. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills necessary to recognize and apply testing concepts and use secure software testing best practices.
