        <h2>Course Outline</h2><h4>1. Software Security Testing</h4><p>In this course and section, we will learn the necessary security testing skills to conduct professional security assessments in various approaches.</p><table width='100%'><tbody><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>1. Introduction</p><p style='margin: 0'>Let us take a quick peek into the course and understand what we are going to learn it.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>2. Environment Setup</p><p style='margin: 0'>Environment setup is an essential process to become professional software security testers. This video will set up Kali Linux, a Debian-derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>3. Important Terminology</p><p style='margin: 0'>Like any other profession, it is vitally important to learn and adopt critical terminology and vocabulary. There are numerous terminologies that cybersecurity experts use daily. This video will highlight some essential concepts that you need to know in software security testing.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>4. Methodologies and Standards</p><p style='margin: 0'>In this video, we will explore essential testing methodologies and standards that software security testers use regularly.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>5. Software Testing as a Process</p><p style='margin: 0'>Software security testing is very hands-on! The more tests you perform, the better you get. Continuous learning and improvement are essential to staying relevant. Software security testing is similar to chess - easy to learn and be productive but hard to master. In this video, we will explore software testing as a process.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>6. The HTTP Protocol</p><p style='margin: 0'>HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the underlying protocol of the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee and his team developed it in 1989-91. HTTP has seen many changes, maintaining most of the simplicity and further shaping its flexibility. This video will explore the foundations of the HTTP protocol and its importance to software security.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>7. Introduction to Encoding</p><p style='margin: 0'>Encoding is the process of converting data from one form to another. While encoding can be used as a verb, it is often used as a noun and refers to a specific type of encoded data. In this video, we will learn how to identify different encoding algorithms and decode them.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>8. Information Gathering</p><p style='margin: 0'>This video will explore information gathering as one of the most critical processes in software security testing. There are two types of methods used during information gathering: active and passive reconnaissance. You will learn the main differences and how to use both techniques to your advantage.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>9. Configuration and Management Testing</p><p style='margin: 0'>The intrinsic complexity of interconnected and heterogeneous server infrastructure, including hundreds of applications, makes configuration management and reviews a fundamental step in testing and deploying every single application. In this video, we will learn about configuration and management testing. It takes only a single vulnerability to undermine the entire infrastructure's security, and even small and seemingly unimportant problems may evolve into severe risks for another application on the same server.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>10. Identity Management Testing</p><p style='margin: 0'>Identity and access management (IAM) in enterprise IT is about defining and managing the roles and access privileges of individual network users and the circumstances in which users are granted (or denied) those privileges. This video will explore identity and access management as one of the most critical provocations for IT departments.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>11. Authentication Testing</p><p style='margin: 0'>Authentication can generally be defined as the act of confirming the identity of a resource - in this case, the consumer of an API. In this video, we will see authentication and different vulnerabilities in the implementation.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>12. Authorization Testing</p><p style='margin: 0'>Authorization is the idea of allowing access to resources only to those authorized to use them. Testing for authorization means understanding how the authorization process works and using that information to circumvent the authorization mechanism. In this video, we will learn about authorization and various vulnerabilities in the implementation.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>13. Session Management Testing</p><p style='margin: 0'>One of the core components of any application is the mechanism by which it controls and maintains the state for a user interacting. In this video, we will explore some of the misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in session management.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>14. Input Validation Testing</p><p style='margin: 0'>Input validation, also known as data validation, is the proper testing of any input supplied by a user or application. In this video, we will explore data validation vulnerabilities and mitigation.</p></td></tr><tr><td style='padding: 15px;'><p>15. Error Handling</p><p style='margin: 0'>Improper handling of errors can inject a variety of security problems for a website. The most common problem is when specific internal error messages such as stack traces, database dumps, and error codes are exposed to the user (attacker).

Course Outline
1. Software Security Testing
In this course and section, we will learn the necessary security testing skills to conduct professional security assessments in various approaches.
1. Introduction
Let us take a quick peek into the course and understand what we are going to learn it.
2. Environment Setup
Environment setup is an essential process to become professional software security testers. This video will set up Kali Linux, a Debian-derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing.
3. Important Terminology
Like any other profession, it is vitally important to learn and adopt critical terminology and vocabulary. There are numerous terminologies that cybersecurity experts use daily. This video will highlight some essential concepts that you need to know in software security testing.
4. Methodologies and Standards
In this video, we will explore essential testing methodologies and standards that software security testers use regularly.
5. Software Testing as a Process
Software security testing is very hands-on! The more tests you perform, the better you get. Continuous learning and improvement are essential to staying relevant. Software security testing is similar to chess - easy to learn and be productive but hard to master. In this video, we will explore software testing as a process.
6. The HTTP Protocol
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the underlying protocol of the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee and his team developed it in 1989-91. HTTP has seen many changes, maintaining most of the simplicity and further shaping its flexibility. This video will explore the foundations of the HTTP protocol and its importance to software security.
7. Introduction to Encoding
Encoding is the process of converting data from one form to another. While encoding can be used as a verb, it is often used as a noun and refers to a specific type of encoded data. In this video, we will learn how to identify different encoding algorithms and decode them.
8. Information Gathering
This video will explore information gathering as one of the most critical processes in software security testing. There are two types of methods used during information gathering: active and passive reconnaissance. You will learn the main differences and how to use both techniques to your advantage.
9. Configuration and Management Testing
The intrinsic complexity of interconnected and heterogeneous server infrastructure, including hundreds of applications, makes configuration management and reviews a fundamental step in testing and deploying every single application. In this video, we will learn about configuration and management testing. It takes only a single vulnerability to undermine the entire infrastructure's security, and even small and seemingly unimportant problems may evolve into severe risks for another application on the same server.
10. Identity Management Testing
Identity and access management (IAM) in enterprise IT is about defining and managing the roles and access privileges of individual network users and the circumstances in which users are granted (or denied) those privileges. This video will explore identity and access management as one of the most critical provocations for IT departments.
11. Authentication Testing
Authentication can generally be defined as the act of confirming the identity of a resource - in this case, the consumer of an API. In this video, we will see authentication and different vulnerabilities in the implementation.
12. Authorization Testing
Authorization is the idea of allowing access to resources only to those authorized to use them. Testing for authorization means understanding how the authorization process works and using that information to circumvent the authorization mechanism. In this video, we will learn about authorization and various vulnerabilities in the implementation.
13. Session Management Testing
One of the core components of any application is the mechanism by which it controls and maintains the state for a user interacting. In this video, we will explore some of the misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in session management.
14. Input Validation Testing
Input validation, also known as data validation, is the proper testing of any input supplied by a user or application. In this video, we will explore data validation vulnerabilities and mitigation.
15. Error Handling
Improper handling of errors can inject a variety of security problems for a website. The most common problem is when specific internal error messages such as stack traces, database dumps, and error codes are exposed to the user (attacker). In this video, we will explore error handling vulnerabilities and mitigation.
16. Cryptography
Cryptography appears to be closely linked to modern electronic communication. Nonetheless, early cryptography examples date back to about 2000 BC, when non-standard "secret" hieroglyphics were used in ancient Egypt. This video will teach about cryptography and weak cryptographic algorithms that should be avoided while developing software.
17. Business Logic Testing
Testing for business logic flaws in a multi-functional dynamic application requires thinking in unconventional methods. This video will teach about the importance of business logic testing while helping you think creatively.
18. Client-Side Testing
Client-side testing refers to any type of testing that occurs in the user's browser. This video will explore testing mechanisms for client-side vulnerabilities and ways to mitigate and reduce impact.
19. Reporting
The cornerstone of a successful penetration test lies in the technical expert's capacity to administer the test and in the quality of the communication of the importance of its results. This video will help you learn crucial components of a software security testing report.
20. Bonus
In this bonus video, you will explore some additional resources that can come in handy while performing software security testing.

Assuring Quality Through Acceptance Testing: On-Demand

Learn about automated software testing with Python, BDD, Selenium WebDriver, and Postman, focusing on web applications
Welcome to the most comprehensive course on automated software testing with Python. Software testing is an essential skill for any developer, and this course will help you truly understand all types of test automation with Python. The focus of this course is on testing for the web-we'll be working with REST APIs and web applications, and technologies such as unittest, Postman, and Selenium WebDriver-ranging from operations such as mocking and patching using the unit test library (to reduce dependencies and turn complex tests into simple ones) to looking at all types of testing: simple unit tests to large system tests and even customer acceptance tests. Throughout the course we work on the Testing Pyramid concept, making sure that we have full coverage of every system component with unit tests. Then we test dependencies using integration tests. Finally, we cover the entire system using system tests. Of course, we also look at what acceptance testing is, how we come up with acceptance tests, and some of the best ways to write acceptance tests for a web application using Behavior-Driven Development and Selenium WebDriver. We also learn about implicit and explicit waits with Selenium WebDriver and Python, a key concept used to speed up the runtime of your acceptance tests. By implementing a Continuous Integration pipeline that runs your tests whenever you make any changes, you'll have much higher project quality so that you don't miss any annoying bugs. We'll look at putting our projects into GitHub and linking with them. All the codes and supporting files for this course are available at: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Automated-Software-Testing-with-Python
What You Will Learn
