A comprehensive test approach to building in quality security includes threat assessment, static and dynamic analysis during development, automated scanning and a penetration test.

Tools for mobile app security testing

For example, ImmuniWeb Mobile Suite offers coverage for not only mobile apps, but also the apps and servers they connect to. Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is widely used in the security testing industry and features th­e ability to send malicious messages for penetration testing.

Kiuwan is an important tool in security testing because it supports static code analysis and software composition analysis, which allows for teams to implement security testing earlier in the development process.

Security testing for mobile apps is one of the most important aspects of an overall test strategy.
