The pressure to deliver software applications that are 'fit for purpose', quickly and cost-effectively, has never been greater.  Faced with an increasingly competitive market, organisations are utilising online applications to deliver new or better services to partners, customers or citizens.  However, with this strategy comes additional risk which needs to be properly managed.

Increasingly organisations are putting greater emphasis on improving development standards and on implementing comprehensive testing programmes within the software development lifecycle (SDLC).  This means that these applications must be capable of meeting their specific functionality, performance, availability and security requirements.  In reality security is rarely incorporated into either the SDLC or testing programmes.

Sopra Group offers innovative integrated Quality Assurance/Security testing services throughout the Software Development Lifecycle that can help our clients assess their level of assurance and realise the full cost-benefit of their IT investments.

This paper sets out why security must be an integral part of any software development project and shows how an integrated approach to testing that encompasses both Quality Assurance and Security can aid more efficient application delivery.
