Security Testing for Developing Secure C# and VB.NET Applications

Detect compliance vulnerabilities continuously throughout the development life cycle. Parasoft dotTEST integrates critical industry security standards directly into Microsoft Visual Studio as if it were part of the product. You can use dotTEST to check compliance with critical security standards (OWASP Top 10, CWE Top 25 + On the Cusp, PCI DSS, UL 2900, and so on) to prevent, expose, correct errors — and ensure that your C# and VB.NET code works as expected. For reporting, auditing, and continuous feedback to the whole team, Parasoft’s unique real-time feedback gives users a continuous view of compliance status with interactive compliance dashboards, risk assessment widgets, and automatically generated reports for compliance audits.

How Does It Work?

With Parasoft’s dotTEST and its security offering baked directly into the developer’s IDE, the development team will naturally become more proficient in security, and fewer security vulnerabilities will be found at the end of the pipeline. The found vulnerabilities can then be investigated and root cause analysis performed to make improvements to the security policies and guidelines from findings — continuously improving the efficiency of building security into development as each cycle progresses.

Developers can use Parasoft dotTEST to check their code locally on their machine before committing to source control to catch and fix security violations when it’s cheaper and easier to do so. Seamlessly integrate into the CI/CD pipeline so the same configuration is executed as part of the build process. This comprehensive analysis goes beyond the scope of a developer’s locally modified code, providing a safety net to gate the delivery pipeline and ensure that insecure code does not get promoted to later stages.

Results of the analysis are sent back to a developer’s IDE and to Parasoft’s web-based reporting and analytics dashboard. The tool tracks progress so you can make course corrections and generate audit reports in real time. Managers and security leads can assess projects based on security coding standards and use the dashboards to answer important questions: Is the project improving or getting worse? Which areas of the code are causing the most issues?

Features

Benefit from the Parasoft Approach

Automate Code Analysis for Compliance

Define rule sets using your own custom rules and the 900+ built-in rules that cover security standards including OWASP, CWE Top 25 + On the Cusp, PCI DSS, UL 2900, and more.

Increase Productivity & Software Quality

Promote rapid remediation. Detected errors are prioritized based on your policy, automatically assigned to the developer who wrote the related code, and distributed to the IDE with direct links to the code and a description of how to fix it. Deep seamless integrations are available with open source platforms, bug tracking systems, requirement management systems, custom iterations, and other infrastructure components.

Identify Runtime Vulnerabilities Early

Parasoft’s data flow analysis detects runtime security issues without requiring the software to be executed. This enables early and effortless detection of critical runtime errors that might otherwise take weeks to find. Defects detected include NullReferenceExceptions, ArgumentNullExceptions, resource leaks, division by zero, dereferencing before checking for null, SQL injections, XSS, and other security vulnerabilities.
