Despite showing moves toward earlier and more frequent security testing throughout the development process, there are still hurdles development and security teams must overcome when it comes to securing applications, according to Veracode.
According to the survey, 40 per cent of developers are incorporating securing testing during the programming stage, and 21 per cent identify the design stage as the point at which security testing is completed. Testing early in the development process finds security defects in code at the point where it is the least costly to fix the defects.
