The document also positions Synopsys as the highest-rated vendor in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing for its ability to execute and completeness of vision. Finally, it discusses Synopsys' portfolio of application security tools and its approach to intelligent orchestration to help development and security teams deliver secure software faster.
Static analysis is a technique that analyzes source code without executing it to find useful information. It works by using tools to capture how code is compiled and then analyzes every path through the code using checkers to find defects like crashes, memory issues and security vulnerabilities. It is beneficial because it can find problems early in the development process when they are cheaper to fix, and the analysis can be done continuously even when developers are not working. Static analysis fits into the software development lifecycle by integrating with activities like code checking, nightly builds, testing and security audits to surface defects.

DevSecOps is a cultural change that incorporates security practices into software development through people, processes, and technologies. It aims to address security without slowing delivery by establishing secure-by-design approaches, automating security tools and processes, and promoting collaboration between developers, security engineers, and operations teams. As software and connected devices continue proliferating, application security must be a central focus of the development lifecycle through a DevSecOps methodology.
This document discusses Netflix's "Paved Road" concept, which formalizes expectations and commitments between centralized teams and engineering teams. The Paved Road provides integrated, supported tools and services to help engineers focus on delivering business value. It is not mandatory for teams to use. Investments are made in partnership with teams to understand value. The Paved Road aims to streamline processes like security and development while allowing flexibility for teams. It helps reduce costs and friction so engineers can focus on their work.

The document discusses the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) and provides recommendations for developers to integrate security into their processes. It recommends that developers understand common threats, perform penetration testing, implement logging of abnormal activity, secure all inputs and outputs, and consider security requirements throughout the entire development cycle from design to deployment. The document emphasizes that software security is important and is everyone's responsibility.
Managing Infrastructure as a Product - Introduction to Platform EngineeringAdityo Pratomo
This is an introduction to platform engineering, the bridge that truly fulfills DevOps potential inside a mid-large scale organization. Sure, it's all the rage these days, but I'd argue to completely develop a platform, a product thinking mindset is also required.
This talk was presented in Kubernetes Day Indonesia 2022
How to Build in Quality from Day 1 using Lean QA and Agile TestingAtlassian
The document discusses how to build quality into software development from the start using Lean QA and Agile Testing. It emphasizes that quality is a team effort and should be considered from the beginning of development. Key aspects discussed include minimizing waste, risk-based testing, automating tests, traceability between requirements and tests, and integrating testing into continuous development processes.
In 2009 Patrick Dubois coined the term "DevOps" when he organised the first "DevOpsDays" In Ghent, Belgium. Since then the term has become a term to explain the collaboration between all organisational stakeholders in IT projects (developers, operations, QA, marketing, security, legal, …) to deliver high quality, reliable solutions where issues are tackled early on in the value stream.
But reality shows that many businesses that implement "DevOps" are actually talking about a collaboration between development, QA and operations (DQO). Solutions are being provided but lack the security and/or legal regulations causing hard-to-fix problems in production environments.
In this talk I will explain how the original idea of Patrick to include all stakeholders got reduced to development, QA and operations and why it's so difficult to apply security or compliance improvements in this model. I will also talk about ways to make the DQO model welcoming for security experts and legal teams and why "DevSecOps" is now the term to be used to ensure security is no longer omitted from the value process.
Finally we'll have a vote if we keep the term "DevOps" as an all-inclusive representation for all stakeholders or if we need to start using "DevSecOps" to ensure the business understands can no longer ignore the importance of security.
The document discusses implementing Agile software development using JIRA and CI/CD. It describes key Agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban and compares them. It then explains what JIRA is and how it can be used to manage an Agile software development workflow, including concepts like projects, issues, tasks and sprints. It also covers setting up a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and git to enable continuous integration and delivery.
Continuous Delivery to Kubernetes with Jenkins and HelmDavid Currie
Presentation given at Oracle Code One 2018 covering deploying Jenkins to Kubernetes with Helm, deploying to Kubernetes from Jenkins with Helm, and Jenkins X.
As delusions of effective risk management for application environments continue to spread, companies continue to bleed large amounts of security spending without truly knowing if the amount is warranted, effective, or even elevating security at all. In parallel, hybrid, thought-provoking security strategies are moving beyond conceptual ideas to practical applications within ripe environments. Application Threat Modeling is one of those areas that, beyond the hype, provides practical and sensible security strategy that leverages already existing security efforts for an improved threat model of what is lurking in the shadows.
Tony UcedaVelez, Managing Director
An experienced security management professional, Tony has more than 10 years of hands-on security and technology experience and is a vocal advocate of security process engineering – a term that describes the design and development of secure processes and controls working symbiotically to create a unique business workflow. Tony currently serves as Managing Director for an Atlanta based risk advisory firm that focuses on security strategy and delivering effective means for risk mitigation and security process engineering. He has worked and consulted for the Fortune 500, as well as federal agencies in the U.S. on the topic of application security and security process engineering.
SAST vs. DAST: What’s the Best Method For Application Security Testing?Cigital
High profile security breaches are leading to heightened organizational security concerns. Firms around the world are now observing the consequences of security breaches that are becoming more widespread and more advanced. Due to this, firms are ready to identify vulnerabilities in their applications and mitigate the risks.
Two ways to go about this are static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST). These application security testing methodologies are used to find the security vulnerabilities that make your organization’s applications susceptible to attack.
The two methodologies approach applications very differently. They are most effective at different phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC) and find different types of vulnerabilities. For example, SAST detects critical vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and buffer overflow earlier in the SDLC. DAST, on the other hand, uses an outside-in penetration testing approach to identify security vulnerabilities while web applications are running.
Let us guide you through your application security testing journey with more key differences between SAST and DAST:
To reduce the number of bugs during and after software development and improve the quality of the product, Shift Left Testing or Early Testing is implemented.
It is a method to push testing towards the early stage of software development like requirements defects, complicated designing, and so on.
By doing so, you uncover and solve the issues in an early testing phase before they become major.

The Definitive Guide to Implementing Shift Left Testing in QARapidValue
In today's digital world, even though most of the projects are following the Agile methodology, often testers might not get enough time to quantify the problem scope and test the product effectively. Even if a sprint lasts for two weeks, the QA team would get the complete functionality for testing, only two or three days before the sprint completion. Eventually, the QA team would have to rush the testing, struggle for test completion and even end up with improper test coverage and bugs being leaked into production. So the testing phase is often considered as a bottleneck for the release by the management.
Studies done by analysts suggest that the maximum number of defects occur during the requirement
and design phase of the software development life cycle. More than half of the defects occur during the
requirement and design phase of the SDLC, i.e 56% of the total defects. Out of this 56%, 23% occurs during the design phase, 7% in the development phase and 10% defects emerge during the other phases. 2019 witnessed test automation going mainstream with 44% of IT organizations automating more than 50% of
all testing and these figures are expected to go up in the upcoming years. Thus it becomes highly necessary to step up the testing game and ensure that it is done quite efficiently and this is where Shift Left Testing comes into play. Detecting defects early in the software development cycle can prove to be very crucial in regards to cost and efficiency.
This whitepaper discusses how shift left testing could help you reimagine the entire QA testing process.
This document discusses DevSecOps, which involves infusing security practices into the development lifecycle to enable faster release cycles while maintaining security. It notes that over 53,000 cybersecurity incidents occurred in India in 2017. Implementing DevSecOps requires changes across an organization's people, processes, tools, and governance to embed security responsibilities across all teams. The typical DevSecOps pipeline shifts security left through activities like threat modeling, security testing, and monitoring throughout the development lifecycle.

Introduction to FAIR Risk Methodology – Global CISO Forum 2019 – Donna Gall...EC-Council
Present your risk assessments to your board of directors in the language they understand - financial loss. "FAIR" or "Factor Analysis of Information Risk" is the quantitative risk analysis methodology that works with common frameworks while adding context for truly effective risk management.
Eind augustus is het Accelerate: State of DevOps Report 2018 uitgebracht. Zoals in dit rapport wordt aangegeven is IT belangrijk voor veel organisaties, en door goed te zijn op IT gebied wordt het eenvoudiger om (commerciële) bedrijfsdoelstellingen te behalen. Goed presteren als organisatie kan worden bereikt door goed te zijn (en elke dag beter te worden) DevOps gebied. Beter worden in DevOps betekent dat je elke dag moet werken aan het verbeteren van competenties die belangrijk zijn wanneer je in DevOps werkt. Maar welke competenties moet je ontwikkelen? En hoe presteer je daar vandaag op? Hoe kun je verbeteren op deze competenties zodat je morgen, volgende week en volgende maand beter wordt?
In deze sessie zal ik een overzicht geven van het DevOps Acceleration Program zoals wij deze hebben ontwikkelen. Dit programma zal een antwoord geven op voorgaande vragen en helpen te bepalen waar je welke verbetering kunt en moet doorvoeren. Belangrijk onderdeel van dit programma is het DevOps Assessment ontwikkeld door DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA), maar het is meer dan dat. Door een gezamenlijk een verbeterplan voor de komende 6 maanden op maat op te stellen en te focussen op een beperkt aantal competenties kun je daadwerkelijk verbeteren. Na 6 maanden doen we een meting om de gerealiseerde voortgang te bepalen en input te geven voor een nieuw verbeterplan.
It is not to complicated to keep new project with good code quality for half year. Maybe, for one year. But what if team works on some project for years? Or even ”better”: you need to support and grow large project after another team. Presentation describes Continuous Inspection, main measures of code quality that will make your life better, continuous inspection and how to cook it with SonarQube.
Many organizations are using JIRA for issue tracking – incident, service request, problem and change management, as well as for project management. However, JIRA can also be used as a tool for test management.

How to Build Security and Risk Management into Agile Environmentsdanb02
Many organizations have adopted the agile methodology for software development and/or moved to DevOps IT support models, micro-services, containers, and the like. Often, these practices leave Information security pros tearing their hair out for lack of assurance and verification processes, or an absence of separation of duty. Insisting on traditional waterfall-based security processes may not be an option. As one security engineering staff member put it, “Business developers come to central IT asking for solutions to a problem and are told it will take 6 months. Then its late. They won’t be back.”
Risk management should be front and center in security. However, risk management is also a challenge in the iterative agile environment – especially for a number of companies that use agile project management for most or all projects, even outside development. a challenge in the agile environment. In this presentation, Blum will address:
1) Challenges of implementing security and risk management in agile or DevOps models
2) Good practices for embedding security services in the pipeline
3) Developing an agile risk management framework
Die Zeiten ändern sich und verlangen immer mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Dies trifft speziell im Bereich Open-Source-Software zu. Die Komplexität gerade in der Technologiebranche ist enorm, gerade wenn der Sicherheitsaspekt eine wichtige Rolle spielt.
Die Nutzung von Open-Source ist bereits beachtlich und nimmt stetig zu. Im Vergleich zum letzten Jahr ist die Anzahl der Unternehmen, die OSS verwenden enorm gestiegen. In Deutschland setzen 69% der befragten Unternehmen OSS ein und der Trend steigt stetig. Im globalen Vergleich verwenden laut des OSSRA Berichts 2019 (Open Source Sicherheits-und Risikoanalyse) 60% der befragten Unternehmen Open Source im analysierten Code im Jahr 2018; eine 3%ige Steigerung zum Vorjahr.
During this talk, we looked at some of the typical controls that Android/iOS applications exhibit, how they work, how to spot them, and how to sidestep them. We’ll demonstrate analysis and techniques using free open source tooling such as Radare and Frida, and for some parts, we’ll use IDA Pro. And since “automation” is the buzzword of the year, we’ll discuss how to automate some of these activities, which typically take up most of the assessment window.

Companies’ use of open source software has surpassed the occasional and solidified itself as the mainstream. Effectively identifying and managing the compliance and security risks associated with open source software can be a difficult task. Whether a company is acquiring another company, preparing for acquisition or simply wanting to manage their use of open source, the universal first step is to figure out the composition of the code, often via an audit. But what do you do once you have the audit report?

Vulnerabilities are an inevitable part of software development and management. Whether they’re in open source or custom code, new vulnerabilities will be discovered as a codebase ages. As stated in the 2019 Open Source Security and Risk Analysis report, 60% of the codebases audited in 2018 contained at least one known vulnerability. As the number of disclosures, patches, and updates grows, security professionals must decide which critical items to address immediately and which items to defer.

Dan Sturtevant, Silverthread and Niles Madison at Synopsys discussed design quality and code quality on a recent webinar.
In an acquisition where a software asset is a core part of the deal valuation, it’s important to understand the overall quality of the software prior to doing the deal. Buggy software is problematic and needs to be cleaned up, so assessing code quality is important. But also, with poorly designed software, every fix is costly and laborious. This can significantly impact the long-term viability of the application, and maintaining that software can seriously degrade ROI. That’s why understanding a software system’s design or architectural health and the likely 'cost of ownership' is key..

This document summarizes a study on why investing in application security (appsec) matters for financial services organizations. The study found that over 50% of financial services firms had experienced theft of customer data due to insecure software. It also found that on average, only 34% of financial software and technology is tested for cybersecurity vulnerabilities. While addressing cybersecurity risks is important, the study noted that financial organizations face resource constraints, with only 45% believing they have adequate budgets for security and only 38% having necessary security skills. The document promotes the software integrity tools offered by Synopsys to help organizations build more secure software faster and address these challenges.
Virtually every organization uses open source software, and lots of it, to create efficiencies in software development. But left unmanaged, open source can introduce legal, IP, compliance, and other risks for the business. With over 2,500 different licenses in use, legal professionals and technical managers need to understand the license obligations associated with open source and how to mitigate risks.

Proactive Vulnerability Detection in Source Code Using Graph Neural Networks:...Ranjan Baisak
As software complexity grows, traditional static analysis tools struggle to detect vulnerabilities with both precision and context—often triggering high false positive rates and developer fatigue. This article explores how Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), when applied to source code representations like Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs), Control Flow Graphs (CFGs), and Data Flow Graphs (DFGs), can revolutionize vulnerability detection. We break down how GNNs model code semantics more effectively than flat token sequences, and how techniques like attention mechanisms, hybrid graph construction, and feedback loops significantly reduce false positives. With insights from real-world datasets and recent research, this guide shows how to build more reliable, proactive, and interpretable vulnerability detection systems using GNNs.

Exceptional Behaviors: How Frequently Are They Tested? (AST 2025)Andre Hora
Exceptions allow developers to handle error cases expected to occur infrequently. Ideally, good test suites should test both normal and exceptional behaviors to catch more bugs and avoid regressions. While current research analyzes exceptions that propagate to tests, it does not explore other exceptions that do not reach the tests. In this paper, we provide an empirical study to explore how frequently exceptional behaviors are tested in real-world systems. We consider both exceptions that propagate to tests and the ones that do not reach the tests. For this purpose, we run an instrumented version of test suites, monitor their execution, and collect information about the exceptions raised at runtime. We analyze the test suites of 25 Python systems, covering 5,372 executed methods, 17.9M calls, and 1.4M raised exceptions. We find that 21.4% of the executed methods do raise exceptions at runtime. In methods that raise exceptions, on the median, 1 in 10 calls exercise exceptional behaviors. Close to 80% of the methods that raise exceptions do so infrequently, but about 20% raise exceptions more frequently. Finally, we provide implications for researchers and practitioners. We suggest developing novel tools to support exercising exceptional behaviors and refactoring expensive try/except blocks. We also call attention to the fact that exception-raising behaviors are not necessarily “abnormal” or rare.
What Do Contribution Guidelines Say About Software Testing? (MSR 2025)Andre Hora
Software testing plays a crucial role in the contribution process of open-source projects. For example, contributions introducing new features are expected to include tests, and contributions with tests are more likely to be accepted. Although most real-world projects require contributors to write tests, the specific testing practices communicated to contributors remain unclear. In this paper, we present an empirical study to understand better how software testing is approached in contribution guidelines. We analyze the guidelines of 200 Python and JavaScript open-source software projects. We find that 78% of the projects include some form of test documentation for contributors. Test documentation is located in multiple sources, including CONTRIBUTING files (58%), external documentation (24%), and README files (8%). Furthermore, test documentation commonly explains how to run tests (83.5%), but less often provides guidance on how to write tests (37%). It frequently covers unit tests (71%), but rarely addresses integration (20.5%) and end-to-end tests (15.5%). Other key testing aspects are also less frequently discussed: test coverage (25.5%) and mocking (9.5%). We conclude by discussing implications and future research.
Who Watches the Watchmen (SciFiDevCon 2025)Allon Mureinik
Tests, especially unit tests, are the developers’ superheroes. They allow us to mess around with our code and keep us safe.
We often trust them with the safety of our codebase, but how do we know that we should? How do we know that this trust is well-deserved?
Enter mutation testing – by intentionally injecting harmful mutations into our code and seeing if they are caught by the tests, we can evaluate the quality of the safety net they provide. By watching the watchmen, we can make sure our tests really protect us, and we aren’t just green-washing our IDEs to a false sense of security.

How Valletta helped healthcare SaaS to transform QA and compliance to grow wi...Egor Kaleynik
This case study explores how we partnered with a mid-sized U.S. healthcare SaaS provider to help them scale from a successful pilot phase to supporting over 10,000 users—while meeting strict HIPAA compliance requirements.
Faced with slow, manual testing cycles, frequent regression bugs, and looming audit risks, their growth was at risk. Their existing QA processes couldn’t keep up with the complexity of real-time biometric data handling, and earlier automation attempts had failed due to unreliable tools and fragmented workflows.
We stepped in to deliver a full QA and DevOps transformation. Our team replaced their fragile legacy tests with Testim’s self-healing automation, integrated Postman and OWASP ZAP into Jenkins pipelines for continuous API and security validation, and leveraged AWS Device Farm for real-device, region-specific compliance testing. Custom deployment scripts gave them control over rollouts without relying on heavy CI/CD infrastructure.
The result? Test cycle times were reduced from 3 days to just 8 hours, regression bugs dropped by 40%, and they passed their first HIPAA audit without issue—unlocking faster contract signings and enabling them to expand confidently. More than just a technical upgrade, this project embedded compliance into every phase of development, proving that SaaS providers in regulated industries can scale fast and stay secure.
