Security testing of Web Application

Hi All

I need help getting started with security testing of a web application.

I have no knowledge of it at all. I have read thru the getting started section for security testing. But it does not help me at all.

It refers to the sample project. And I don't want to use the sample project. I want to start a new test from scratch, to test a web application.

How do I go about doing this ? Can someone please assist me with this. I need a full detailed tutorial please. The more detail, the better.

The company that I work for, bought this software do use for security testing of their web applications. So I need to concentrate on getting it done. I am not going to use any other functions of the software other than the security testing functionality.

    Hi

    I am using SOAPUI Pro trail at the moment. Awaiting the license bought for Pro.

    I am looking to to a couple of security tests on our web application. Just basic tests of the following. I just need to get started. My workspace is blank and I don't know what the first steps are. The getting started page shows existing tests already created , and then they add a security test to that project.

    What do I have to do, to create a security test for our web applications ?

    1. SQL Injection testing
    2. XSS

    Hi,

    I would suggest reading and learning the basic steps and concepts about SoapUI from creating a project, using test steps, etc.. This information can be found on SoapUI website at www.soapui.org. The Getting started tab would be a good starting point.
